Entering game week, FanDuel had Rutgers as a 3.5-point favorite to start, but that line quickly went down to 2.5-points and remains there currently. As for the over / under, FanDuel Sportsbook has set that line at 42.5 total points for the game.

The Huskies are coming into this one following dominating 24-5 home victory over the likes of Northwestern. They've also beat Weber State and Eastern Michigan this season, while earning their lone loss to their rival in Washington State just a few weeks back.

SERIES HISTORY....

This game will mark as the third time that two programs have ever faced off before, as there was a two game home and home series between the programs back in 2016 and 2017. While the game in 2016 out in Washington wasn't super competitive (48-13), the one in New Jersey in 2017 was as the then Chris Ash led Scarlet Knights fought hard despite losing 30-14.
