VERYYYYY interesting, considering how they boat raced us last meeting. Granted we have eugene this time around and are at home but what the hell does vegas know!?
Started as a pick but this might be the only game in B1G history where RU is favored (maybe PSU at home in Pikes 1st year, where it was a 1 point or pickem).
I think this would be the 1st of 95 total B1G games where that would be the case. The PSU game while fans may assume would have RU as a favorite, may be another PK or 1 point spread in either direction.
Illinois opened as a 2.5 home.favorite over PSU today (line went down to 2) and PSU won by 7. Someone could argue that winning the road game at PSU starts to look like a bigger and bigger win than we realize.
In either case, these trends don't win games but at least starts to change minds in general for non RU fans. It shows the progress is measured and some of the gaps between RU and the middle of the pack and bottom 4 or 5 teams is closing.

Fans should want to attend this game just to avoid hearing Wenzel rooting against RU
I got the feeling the last time he did one of our games that he really dislikes Pike. I've heard that he loves being referred to as the last coach to bring Rutgers to the NCAA Tournament. He probably doesnt like the fact that Pike is going to take that away from him in a couple years.
It's not surprising that Vegas favors Rutgers after all the recent commentary on BTN about how terrifying it is to play Rutgers at the RAC. If you listen to BTN, it is almost impossible for visiting teams to win here. Great publicity.
Well we are 6-11 and we need 2 more wins. I think we beat Iowa, PSU, and Indiana. A clean sweep. 9-11
You should really stay off the boards during games lol
I see Bob and talk to him about Rutgers basketball almost weekly. Comments couldn’t be farther from the truth.
