<h2>
Eastern Michigan Eagles at Rutgers Scarlet Knights Overview<br />
</h2>
<p>
The two teams come in contrasting notes with regards to how they performed in 2016 and in their opening games. For Eastern Michigan, the Eagles are still celebrating their first bowl bid in 29 years, achieved on the heels of a seven-win season in 2016. The Eagles hit the ground running in 2017 with a 24-7 victory against Charlotte in Ypsilanti last Friday night. For Rutgers, 2016 was a bitter pill to swallow. The Scarlet Knights would go 2-10 and go winless in Big Ten competition over the span of the season. While Rutgers hoped to forget about 2016, they were quickly reminded of their fall from grace when they were rolled by the Washington Huskies in their season opener. The Huskies would go to work on the Scarlet Knights, handily beating them by a score of 30-14 in Piscataway.

Eastern Michigan Eagles at Rutgers Scarlet Knights Week 2 Prediction
The ebb and flows of betting is one that can never cease to amaze. Only a week ago, the Eagles were a very sexy selection against Charlotte. This week, the Eagles are in sell mode even after they successfully covered against Charlotte as a double-digit favorite. On the contrary, Rutgers looked like the same team we saw in 2016 that yielded some abysmal results. In 2016, Rutgers was shut out on four occasions and lost by margins of 39, 49, 58, and 78 in these four shutout defeats. Now this team is spotting points to a football team that is likely being undervalued by virtue of conference affiliation more than any other reason. A presiding opinion is that the Eagles hailing from the MAC will not be able to contend with the likes of a Power Five team such as Rutgers who comes from the Big Ten. While the Big Ten may indeed be one of the nation’s best conferences, Rutgers has not made a convincing argument that it belongs there. Eastern Michigan will enter this game with a chip on its shoulder due to the lack of respect it has been shown. Place the Scarlet Knights on upset alert.
