(NCAAF) Rutgers vs. Ohio State,
Point Spread: 35.50 | -110.00 Rutgers (Away)
Result: Loss
Point Spread: 35.50 | -110.00 Rutgers (Away)
Result: Loss
The set-up: I'm of course not calling for an outright upset, but after Ohio State's 77-31 throttling of Oregon State in Week 1, I think the Buckeyes come in a bit complacent in this Week 2 "cream puff," leaving the back door open just wide enough for the Scarlet Knights to sneak in through down the stretch.
The teams: Rutgers comes in off a 35-7 win over Texas State. QB Artur Sitkowski was a bit shaky with three INT's, but he'd also go 20 of 30 for 205 yards and a TD. The Scarlet Knights will clearly have their hands full defensively today, but the unit looked pretty good in Week 1 anyways.
Ohio State was playing under interim Ryan Day last week and it would still go on to post 721 yards of offense. QB Dwayne Haskins was 22 of 30 for 313 yards and five TD's, while also running for 24 yards and two more TD's.
The pick: Clearly Ohio State is on an entirely different level than Rutgers, but the Scarlet Knights are without question improved from last season's team and they won't be going down without a fight this afternoon. With an interesting game at TCU next weekend, I think Ohio State gets caught looking past its lowly opponent. Grab the points, play on Rutgers.
