Rutgers has quickly come back down to Earth. After a 3-0 start, the Scarlet Knights have lost their last three games in Big Ten play, all against teams ranked in the top ten nationally. The bright side is that they now have a winnable game on the road against Northwestern.
The Scarlet Knights are currently two-point favorites ahead of travelling to Evanston on Saturday, according to BetOnline. Rutgers is -125 on the money line while Northwestern is +105. The total is set at 44.5.
This spread says a lot more about Northwestern than it does Rutgers.
