This game is going to be interesting, as the Scarlet Knights are not expected to score many points.
Ohio State has been one of the top defensive teams in college football, allowing 9.7 points in their last three games. Rutgers is going to struggle to move the ball, so their offense is going to dominate, so go with the Buckeyes to cover the spread.
Prediction: State Buckeyes -18.5
