This game is a huge mismatch which is obvious from the greater than 40-point spread favoring Ohio St. Rutgers is a misleading 3-1 on the season with a 1-point win vs Boston College, and a 2-point win vs Temple. They were beaten soundly by Iowa who scored 27 points with a very poor offense. Ohio St. is going to score on almost every possession. The Buckeyes put up over 500 yards and 52 points vs a strong Wisconsin defense. They will have their way vs a Rutgers team that just doesn't have the speed on defense to challenge the Buckeyes. Ohio St. beat Toledo by 56 points, and I would not be surprised to see a similar margin here. Ohio St. has beaten Rutgers by an average of 42.5ppg in the last 8 years, and this offense is their best in the timeframe. Make the play on Ohio St.

Ohio State at Rutgers
3:30 PM Eastern
As good as Ohio State's offense has been, the defense has been mostly awful. They were favored by two TDs against Minnesota and Oregon and gave up 31 and 35 points. Also, the offense has a shoulder injury to QB C.J. Stroud, so freshman backup QB Kyle McCord started last week. The Buckeyes are 1-6 ATS versus winning teams and 3-7 ATS after scoring 40+ points in the last game. They're a big favorite again, but Rutgers is a terrific defensive team, seventh in the nation in scoring defense (13.5 points per game) and #11 in total 'D' (262.8 yards allowed per contest). Rutgers was a 20-point underdog last week at No. 14 Michigan, and they lost a close one, 20-13. Michigan entered the game averaging 350 yards rushing and was held to 112 yards (2.9 yards per carry). Rutgers is 50-29 ATS as a dog and 35-17 ATS off a loss to a conference rival. Play Rutgers.
