The set-up: I recently saw on Twitter someone posting a $5 bet on Rutgers to win this game SU at 5000 to 1 odds. Clearly I'm not going to suggest the same thing. I'd say, save your money and buy a couple hot dogs instead. But that said, these Ohio State spreads are now officially out of control in my opinion. Yes Ohio State is going to win this game yes the Buckeyes will win big. However, I love Rutgers here to comfortably sneak in through the back door. Last week Ohio State smashed Maryland 73-14, but I don't see the team running up the score on the road in back-to-back weeks.

The pick: The bad news for Rutgers? It's 0-6 in conference play. The good news? It's 2-3 at home this season. Quarterback Johnny Langan is pathetic, but the strength on offense does lie in the run game. I believe this also plays into our hands, as the home side will be dedicated to the run throughout. Additionally note that Ohio State is just 1-3 ATS in its last four after a two-game home stand, while Rutgers is 3-1 ATS in its last four following its bye week. Grab all these points.

8* play on Rutgers.
