guess the Monmouth @ RU point spread

[Greene Rice FIG]

I'll go Monmouth -7.5

 

[ruman]

Monmouth -12

 

[ColonelRutgers]

Monmouth -9.5

 

[wngarbarini]

Monmouth14

 

[bac2therac]

Monmouth -6.5

 

[PiscatawayMike]

Monmouth -5.5

 

[RUonBrain]

Monmouth 16

Anyone know a real line?

 

[toby83]

there is not a chance in HELL it's not in double digits the way GW covered 18 easily and after the Monmouth/GTown game other night (tv).

i say -17

 

[RU-ROCS]

The line will probably be Monmouth -11, but they will actually win by 20+ points. Sadly, I see a result similar to the SHU game.

 

[dollarbill]

Monmouth -4. $$$$

 

[toby83]

I can't tell if you guys are serious or not

 

[Kbee3]

Just curious if this is another first for the Rutgers men's basketball program ?
Have we ever been underdogs to Monmouth before ?
Go Eddie....the turnaround continues.

We've never lost to them before. Surely that will change Sunday. Maybe if Mr. Jordan decides it's worth his valuable time to teach rebounding, we'll hang around for 30 minutes or so.

To answer the OP's question, I'll go RU +11.

 

[Greene Rice FIG]

no way the line will be 16 or 17

 

[RUJMM78]

The line will be in the 5-7 range favoring Monmouth but they will win by double digits because without Freeman there simply aren't enough scoring threats for Rutgers.

Yes, last year

If it is a single digit line I will start a new thread asking about ideal cruise trips for this winter.......

 

[bac2therac]

I will be shocked if the line is double digits

 

[RUonBrain]

I will be shocked if the line is double digits

Will you be shocked if we stay within 10?

 

[bac2therac]

Will you be shocked if we stay within 10?

no but only because how many times have we seen schools coming off big wins falling flat the next game. I think Monmouth is now the hunted and not the hunter so its a new role for them

 

[RutgersJoe]

I think it will be much lower than people think. I'll say Monmouth -3

 

[PiscatawayMike]

This is correct. Anyone who thinks the line will be double digits knows nothing about point spreads.

 

[Greene Rice FIG]

I think my -7.5 is too high. I'm bringing it down to -6.

Monmouth is getting press. Rutgers will have a week off. I think Rutgers knows the importance of this game. Vegas knows the fear of being embarrassed on the court (and on the bench) will help Rutgers in the effort category.

 

[RUtrumpet92]

First thought is around 7 pts, give or take a half.

 

[TobyTyler1]

WOW. I'm stunned, seeing 9.5

will be 10-11 by tip I assume

 

[TobyTyler1]

10.5 now

 

[mikebal9]

This is correct. Anyone who thinks the line will be double digits knows nothing about point spreads.

Well, where's the apology for being so arrogant and so, so wrong? Line is 10.5. That is double digits, isn't it?

 

[RUfan1979]

Don't see this game being close.
Monmouth is a well coached team that plays smart and has shooters.
Rutgers is the antithesis.
Monmouth will have a double digit lead at halftime and win in a blowout.
The program is at an all time low.
Time to start over.

 

[ruready4somefootball]

Under/over is 141. I guess Monmouth will have to put up a ton of points for the over.

 

[TobyTyler1]

i would guess Rutgers will get some late action from guys that aren't familiar with the team. 'rival' local game, big ten team at home getting dble digits

 

[Greene Rice FIG]

If RU plays hard and isn't ice cold shooting they will cover.

Unfortunately the playing hard is the primary concern. If Eddie can't get his team ready to compete in a big game with a week off......it'll never happen.

I feel this isn't Eddie biggest game as RU coach. I expect to see it today. May be sad, but it is what it is.

I expect RU to at worst cover.

Would have been lower if Diallo did not get hurt.

Good effort.
Better than I thought.
At least it was an exciting last few minutes...that's a moral victory.

 

[RUforlife]

A moral victory over Monmouth, now we are getting somewhere.
