Getting 8.5 against Arkansas. Am I looking at this through my Big East rose colored glasses or does this seem like a pretty solid bet? I think our conference is underated and they (SEC overated). Can I trust the Jersey boys?
It all depends if Arkansas's QB plays. If he plays...I would stay away...if he doesn't...it's a good bet.
... lastest is the Wilson plays. http://www.arkansasonline.com/news/2012/sep/20/wilson-cleared-play-against-rutgers/ I really, really want Snookie to whack the Hog but...
Alabama smoked em 52-0. I'm sorry, but no Big East team is getting beat by Alabama 52-0 at home with or without their starting QB.
I like they're chances of winning, and normally I'd maybe even look at the money line which is probably paying 2.5:1 or so, but for some reason whenever I bet for (or against) Rutgers, I lose. I think either they or I was cursed by a witch and I just can't win betting on them.
Agreed - line has crept up to 9.5 because Wilson is in - buy a point and cover yourself for a 10 pt game. That or just go big and hit the ML at 3/1.
Its Rutgers so who the heck knows. I think Arkansas is extremely over-rated, but sometimes things like getting your quarterback back give you a little boost, but we're talking about a team that gave up 24 points to jackson State and lost to Louisiana Monroe...and Wilson played. So I would have to think the Rutboys have a decent chance.
The problem is the Rutty Offense may be worse than ours. I think their defense will be able to handle the Hogs, until fatigue wears in. I would stay away from 8.5 though I feel New Jersey State will win the game.
Take the Hogs the giving 8.5, unless you're rutgersal. The Hogs will makes them bleed scarlett red, this will get ugly by half time.
The two don't compare. Right now Rutgers offense is further along. They have better play from the QB especially if you watched the USF game. Also, their receivers are much more capable of doing damage now that they are getting the ball.
