Undefeated Rutgers isn't getting any respect with this number. Coming into the season, the Scarlet Knights were expected to have a strong defense and they have been great. The defense is allowing 10 points per game and is ranked 19th in the nation in yards allowed per contest. They already have a Big 10 victory over Northwestern, 24-7, and crushed Virginia Tech last week, 35-16, with 256 yards rushing. Rutgers Coach Greg Schiano is 32-16 ATS as a road dog. Michigan has failed to cover its first three games, all at home and all as a huge favorite. Starting QB J.J. McCarthy (7 TDs, 3 picks) hasn't been tested and comes off a shaky performance against Bowling Green with 2 TDs and 3 interceptions. Michigan is 27-49 ATS after scoring 31+ points in back-to-back games while coach Jim Harbaugh is 2-9 ATS at home after his team allowed 17 points or fewer in three straight contests. Play Rutgers.
