Why Rutgers can cover
The Scarlet Knights have the opportunity to keep Saturday's game close after the Buckeyes failed to put up a ton of points against the Badgers last week. QB Gavin Wimsatt is coming off scoring three rushing TDs in a 31-14 win against the Hoosiers, so expect him to contribute to keeping Rutgers running up the scoreboard.
Since Rutgers is fresh off its bye week following a 31-point effort and Ohio State is capable of putting up 40 points, it isn't surprising that the SportsLine model is projecting the Over to hit in this Big 10 East matchup. See picks at SportsLine.
Why Ohio State can cover
Kyle McCord and Marvin Harrison Jr. are expected to rebound from a low-scoring game against Wisconsin and run up the scoreboard against the Scarlet Knights. Harrison recorded six receptions for 123 yards and two TDs against the Badgers in Week 9 and should come up big against a Rutgers team that has struggled against tougher teams.
Big Ten rival Michigan beat Rutgers 31-7 in Week 4. Ohio State also has the advantage in the all-time series against Rutgers, going 9-0 dating back to 2014 and 4-0 in games played in Piscataway. See picks at SportsLine.
