Ohio State vs. Rutgers Prediction
Ohio State enters Saturday’s matchup as a 33.5-point favorite and looks poised to keep its dominant run going. The Buckeyes have won 14 straight and an incredible 59 of their past 60 home games against nonconference opponents.
Their defense has been elite, allowing an FBS-low 7.5 points per game, while quarterback Julian Sayin continues to play at a Heisman Trophy-caliber level as the nation’s most accurate passer.
Rutgers, meanwhile, is still chasing bowl eligibility. Running back Antwan Raymond will be key after rushing for a career-best 240 yards against Maryland, but the Scarlet Knights face one of the stingiest defenses in college football, especially against the run.
The Buckeyes’ defense should dictate the game, and Sayin & Co. should have little trouble extending the nation’s longest active win streak.
- Pick ATS: Rutgers (+33.5)
- Pick OU: Under (55.5)
