The Line: Betting Odds: Rutgers — Over/Under:
Miami Ohio and Rutgers meet Saturday in college football action from SHI Stadium. Here’s a Mimai-OH vs Rutgers prediction. We will look at this from a betting perspective and determine the best Miamo Ohio Redhawks vs Rutgers Scarlet Knights pick. We will examine:

A summary that ties it all together and produces a favorable betting outcome for the Miami Ohio and Rutgers game.
The big question for Miami Ohio is how do they get their offense going in this game. The Redhawks faced off against the Wisconsin Badgers in the first game, and the defense was solid, but the same can’t be said for the offense. At halftime, they were down 3-0, and they ended up losing 17-0.
As a team, they had 117 yards of total offense but only 34 of those came on the ground. Kenny Tracy was the top offensive player on the ground, and he only finished with 15 yards. Dequann Finn had 12 rushing attempts for 13 yards. He also completed only 9 of his 18 passes for 83 yards, zero touchdowns, and two interceptions. The offense has to get find a way to get the offense going early in this game to really put the pressure on. If they fall behind early, this could be a very long game.
Matchup/League Facts
One of Rutgers’ one games this season have been decided by a margin of three points or less – equal-most amongst FBS teams.

Miami (OH) ranks T135th among FBS teams for 1st downs this season (seven).
Miami (OH) ranks T134th among FBS teams for points per game this season (0.0).
Is Miami Ohio’s offense a problem? It sure looked like it the first game. Is Rutgers defense also going to be a problem this season? I think the answer to that question is also yes. Rutgers defense almost quit in the last game, and they are going to struggle. Finn had two interceptions in the last game, but he’s going to do better at not turning the ball over here. Parker Navvaro lit up the defense in the last game, and Finn will do the same here. Will it be enough to win, probably not, but it’s going to be enough to keep it close. This is too many points. Back Miami Ohio against the spread.

Rutgers Tested In First Game
The hope is that Rutgers finally turns the corner this season, but if the first game is any indication, it might be a trying season. Rutgers scored 34 points, but the defense gave up 31 points, and it looked for a while lik they might ended up losing it. At halftime they were up 31-17, but in the second half the offense only managed three points, which let the Bobcats right back into the game. Starting quarterback Athan Kaliakmanis completed 18 of his 23 passes for 252 yards, two touchdowns, and zero interceptions. Antwan Raymond also looks like he’s going to be a problem out of the backfield, and he finished with 14 carries for 88 yards and a touchdown. The defense though, allowed Parker Navvaro to get whatever he wanted, through the air and ground, and the defense is going to need to be a whole lot better.
