Maryland vs. NC State prediction and odds for Duke’s Mayo Bowl

Duke's Mayo Bowl is my favorite bowl game of the year. The winning coach gets Mayo dumped on their head. This year it will be Mike Locksley of Maryland or Dave Doeren over NC State. Maryland lost three in a row before steamrolling Rutgers to end their season 7-5. NC state finished the season 8-4 after looking like a CFP darkhorse back in August.

Maryland vs. NC State is a game in Duke’s Mayo Bowl.

Maryland is going to start their starting quarterback Taulia Tagovailoa. Devin Leary left the team and Ben Finley is the only other quarterback left. NC State had a lot of turnover at the quarterback position this season. Jacob Copeland and Dontay Demus Jr. didn't play in the game.
