The Rutgers Scarlet Knights (3-0) host the Washington Huskies (3-1) on Friday night in an all-Big Ten affair.
Rutgers stayed perfect with a 26-23 win over Virginia Tech previously, as kicker Jai Patel converted the game-winning field goal with just under two minutes left.
Washington comfortably beat Northwestern 24-5 on Saturday, a good bounce-back win after losing to Washington State the week before.
Will the Scarlet Knights make it four victories in a row, or will the Huskies come away with an impressive road win?

Prediction
Rutgers’ offense has been one of the better ones in the Big Ten and in all of college football as a whole. Last week, they didn’t run up the score, but it was enough for the victory and for the total to go over for the second straight time. Washington has a capable offense, but they’ve engaged in a lot of low-scoring games so far. Still, even though both teams have strong defenses, look for Rutgers to propel the over hitting here, as they’ve scored 93 points in their two home matchups this season.
Final Pick
Over 45.5 (-110)
