Rutgers-Ohio State game day weather report, betting advice: How will rain impact game?

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Greetings from Ohio Stadium.

It's pouring. And it doesn't look like it's going to let up.

Here's what fans need to know:

Forecast: Rutgers and No. 4-ranked Ohio State will kick off at 3:30 p.m. Eastern. Rain is expected in the hours leading into the contest and during it, according to accuweather.com, with precipitation chances holding steady at 83 percent from 2 pm. until 8 p.m.

The good news is no lightning appears on the horizon, which means the game should be without delays. Ohio State's season-opening 77-31 win over Oregon State last weekend was delayed over an hour by weather.
