The Scarlet Knights are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 Tuesday games. The Scarlet Knights are also 3-1-1 ATS in their last 5 games following a straight up win of more than 20 points. As many see this being a let down spot for the Knights. I’ll take them against Penn in this one as they can find a way to get hot on offense. The Nittany Lions are 3-7-1 ATS in their last 11 home games vs. a team with a road winning % of less than .400 and are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 Tuesday games. I’ll take the points with Rutgers in this one.
