Rutgers and Nebraska have met five times since the Scarlet Knights entered the Big Ten in 2014. The Huskers are 5-0 straight up in those matchups but Rutgers has covered three times. This includes twice as a double-digit favorite.

On Saturday, the number will not be double digits but the Huskers will be laying a touchdown. That will be the sixth consecutive game that Nebraska is favored by at least seven. So far, it is 4-1 ATS. The one loss came against Illinois when a 9.5-favorite Nebraska team lost outright on a Friday night.

Rutgers has also been a cover machine lately. The Scarlet Knights have covered the last three games and are 4-0 ATS, depending on where you got the season-opening line against Howard. It was offered at 39.5 on many sites but creeped lower making that last-second touchdown valuable for some. Most recently, Rutgers has covered during the two biggest games thus far. First, as a small dog against Virginia Tech and as a one-point favorite against the Huskies.

The Scarlet Knights have split over/unders this season. It would lean 3-1 in favor of overs if the extra point was kicked at the end of the game against Howard. The number was 51.5 and it landed 44-7. As for Nebraska, games have gone under four out of five times.

In a total of nine games between both teams, the number has been set over 50 just three times. This means the oddsmakers believe in the defenses while the offenses have not been explosive. Once again, the number is under 50 here and that might be the play.

It is always intriguing to take a team that runs the ball well and plays defense getting a touchdown. On the road, it makes it a difficult spot. The Scarlet Knights responded in Virginia Tech but this will be the biggest test of the season to date.

If there is a play here, it might be to stay away from the line, unless you find it under a score, and ride the under.
