Rutgers Scarlet Knights vs Nebraska Cornhuskers prediction
The Rutgers Scarlet Knights have struggled over the last couple of weeks, and I doubt things change on the road, where they’re 3-7 SU on the season. The Nebraska Cornhuskers are 17-1 SU at home this season, and you know they’ll be up for this one given it’s their last home game. Nebraska has three seniors it will be playing for to send off with a nice win. Nebraska is also 18-11 ATS on the season, compared to Rutgers and its 13-15 ATS record. Give me Nebraska in a comfortable home win. I’ll lay the points with the Huskers.
