4* Free 2024 Week 7 NCAA Betting Prediction: Rutgers -2.5
Rutgers is the -2.5 point favorite at home in this matchup, and we expect them to cover the spread. Our projected final score is 25-19 in favor of the Scarlet Knights.
With the over/under line set at 39.5 points, our projection of 44 points suggests taking the over as the best bet for this game.
The total is set at a modest 39.5, so if you’re into betting the over/under, expect a low-scoring, defensive slugfest. Rutgers has been good at controlling tempo, but Wisconsin’s coming in hot, and their offense is finally starting to click.
