Rutgers -14.0 - Saturday November 8th ‘2008 12:00p
Rutgers(3-5) in a rebuilding year started out their current campaign very slowly, but as the season has progressed they have begun to jell , as was evident in their last trip to the gridiron when they cold cocked the inconsistent Pittsburgh Panthers by a lopsided 54-34 count. The Scarlet Knights well rested and off a bye week, are now riding a two game winning streak , and will be ready to continue their positive momentum , vs a Syracuse Orange( 2-6) side that has allowed 33.1 PPG and 427 total YPG in 2008. The Orange saving grace and this season, has been their offense, however, against a Rutgers side that is holding opponents to 347.2 total YPG, and just 19.5 PPG at home in Piscataway , putting points on the board, will not come easily. What I am betting will happen…. Look for Rutgers QB Mike Teel , who passed for 361 yards and 6 Tds last time out, to come out firing with a merciless aerial assault, against a Orange secondary that has been ripped for 224 passing yards per game. On defense, I expect the Scarlet Knights, to use a variation of the nickel defense, to stack the box, and key on stopping the Orange most reliable mode of moving the chains RB-Curtis Brinkley. This combination will progressively lead to this contest ending in a one sided decision for the home team. Final notes & Key Trends:The football Syracuse program is 16-31 ATS L/47 as a road underdog, losing SU by an average of 18.6 PPG. Projected score: Rutgers 37 Syracuse 14 - Courtesy of Alex Smart
