Point Spread: -3/-110 Rutgers

Sportsbook: TopBet

Result: Loss

Today's winner is Rutgers over Louisville.

The line should be a few points higher here but Rutgers' performance LW against Pitt has put this line at -3. Rutgers will come back strong today to give the school their first ever BCS berth.

The Scarlet Knights own the superior defense by far. Their stop unit allows a mere 13.7 PPG on the season, which includes just 12.0 PPG at home. They rank 4th in scoring and 11th vs. the run. Gary Nova had a subpar outing a game ago but the play-caller will bounce back strong tonight and add to his 2282 YP and 20 TDs against a Louisville "D" that gives up 29.5 PPG on the road. RB, Jawan Jamison (1004 YR) will lead the offense here. The Cardinals lost 2 in a row SU and 4 of their L5 ATS. QB, Teddy Bridgewater is expected to play with an injured wrist but the team will be without rusher, Senorise Perry (705 YR and 11 TDs). Perry's absence will prove to be fatal in this one. The favorite is 5-0 ATS the L5 meetings between these two teams. Take Rutgers. Thank you.
