Pennsylvania vs Rutgers Prediction
Penn is not a great team across the board and is just 3-6 ATS on the season. However, Rutgers isn’t much better, and its 3-8 ATS record is even worse. Rutgers has issues scoring the ball and while the schedule hasn’t been a breeze, the Scarlett Knights haven’t shown us much from game to game. Just because one team isn’t good doesn’t mean we throw the opponent all of these points. Laying double-digit chalk with Rutgers is nuts. Who is Rutgers? It’s Penn and the points or pass for me.
