Entering game week, FanDuel has Rutgers as a 26.5-point favorites against the Zips with the over/under currently sitting at 43.5 points per FanDuel Sportsbook.

This past Saturday, Akron took an early 3-0 lead against No. 2 ranked Ohio State, but that didn't last too long as the Buckeyes went on to win by a final score of 52-6 as the Zips suffered quite a few different injuries including one to their starting quarterback Ben Finley.

SERIES HISTORY....

This game will mark as the second time ever that the two programs have met on the gridiron, with Rutgers winning the only other matchup by a final score of 20-17 back in 1990.
