Rutgers isn't getting any respect with this betting line. They were a 20-point dog at Michigan and lost 20-13. Rutgers has a terrific coach in Greg Schiano (52-31 ATS as a dog) with a good shot at a bowl for the first time since 2014. The Rutgers defense is fourth nationally on third down (28.8 percent) and has allowed just 10 points in the fourth quarter all season. The special teams are also strong, No. 1 in the nation in punting (45.7 yards per punt). Rutgers has won six of its last nine road contests, on a 9-1 spread run on the road, 25-12 ATS away from home after having won two out of three. They come off a 38-3 win at Indiana as an underdog. Penn State is off an emotional game, losing 21-17 on a late TD in a showdown with Michigan. It was their fourth loss in five games, including a 20-18 defeat to Illinois as a 24-point favorite. Penn State is 6-19 ATS off a Big 10 loss, as well as 2-11 ATS at home off a defeat. Play Rutgers.
