4* Free Week 4 NCAA Betting Prediction: Rutgers +24.5
The two schools have met on nine occasions, with Michigan emerging victorious in eight of those encounters. Now, I’m not here to say Rutgers wins this one straight up, but they’re dangerous enough to score a TD or two, and kick a FG.
Rutgers’ most recent game against Bowling Green saw them look good on the defensive side of the ball. I see them as the best bet to cover the spread for this week, with the line at +24.5.
The Scarlet Knights have emerged victorious against Northwestern, Temple, and Virginia Tech, showcasing impressive performances in the process.
Michigan can’t take them too lightly.
