4* Free Week 3 NCAA Betting Prediction: Rutgers -6.5
Whether it’s Drones or Wells at QB for the Hokies won’t make much of a difference here.
Rutgers at -6.5 is my spread pick for this game. Their defense performed well against Temple last week (7 pts), and Northwestern before that (7pts) and is poised for another strong showing.
I believe Rutgers will not only come out on top, but also cover the spread against Virginia Tech. They’ll own the ground game and pound the rock all day long. The clock will be moving.
The Under has hit in the L2 Rutgers games and I expect it to go Under on Saturday as well. My projections call for 38 points total.
