Rutgers football opens as double digit underdogs against Michigan State

The 2020 season opener for Rutgers football is less than 10 days away and it wasn’t a question of whether if they would be underdogs on the road against Michigan State, but by how much? On Thursday, Bet Online released opening lines for the Big Ten’s first week and the Spartans open as 11.5 point favorites over the Scarlet Knights.

Both teams feature new head coaches, Mel Tucker for Michigan State and Greg Schiano for Rutgers. With an extremely shortened offseason, new coaching staff’s and reworked rosters, it’s hard to know what to expect when these teams face each other on Saturday, October 24 at noon on BTN.
