Nebraska at Rutgers Prediction 1/24/2018

The Cornhuskers have been competitive in most road games but are just 2-6 on the road this season. The Scarlet Knights are 2-2 as a host in conference games, but their scoring against competent defenses is a concern making a point spread pick on this game not the logical way to bet this game. The total though is worth playing. In their last seven Big Ten games Nebraska has held all but Purdue to 65 or fewer points and now face a team that has scored 59.9 points per game in conference action. The Rutgers’ low scoring average is misleading with an overtime game against MSU (59 points in regulation) and a blowout win over Iowa putting up 80 points against the Hawkeyes porous defense. Two good defenses facing questionable offenses has me forecasting a 60-55 type game.
