The Rutgers Scarlet Knights are a tough-minded team that’s not going to be scared here, and loses as underdogs by an average of just 2.7 points. With that said, Indiana has been a buzz saw at home this season, and that includes being 9-4 ATS. I’d need an extra bucket or two to consider Rutgers. Give me Indiana.
