Ohio State vs. Rutgers Betting Preview
The Buckeyes are coming off a win, but an exhausting one over Wisconsin. Over their last five NCAAF games, the Buckeyes have wins at Notre Dame, with Penn State and on the road at Wisconsin. Ohio State is scoring 32.5 points per game, but their defense goes overlooked. Ohio State is allowing just 10 points per game.
Marvin Harrison Jr is the big name on the offensive side. The receiver has 8 touchdowns and is 111 yards away from 1,000 on the season. The run game is anchored by TreVeyon Henderson, with 457 yards and six touchdowns. Kyle McCord runs the offense under center, and has 14 passing touchdowns on the season,
Ohio State has back-to-back home games next. The Buckeyes will take on Michigan State and then Minnesota, before the huge showdown at Michigan to wrap up the regular season.
Rutgers’ Upset Potential
The Scarlet Knights could really throw a wrench into the College Football standings with an upset win at home here. Rutgers in their last three wins have allowed less than 14 points per game. The Rutgers defense is allowing just 15.8 points per game on the season, but this will be the biggest test they have faced.
Gavin Wimsatt rushed for three touchdowns in the win over Indiana. He has Kyle Monagai as a top running back for Rutgers, with 744 yards on the ground and 7 touchdowns on the season. The Scarlet Knights are one of the worst passing offenses in the nation, less than 150 yards per game.
Rutgers will finish their season following this at Iowa, and then home games against Penn State and Maryland. The Scarlet Knights will also play in a bowl game.
