Rutgers and Northwestern were bad last year, especially in the Big 10, and they are not expected to be any better if not worse this season. Last season Northwestern opened the season with a win in Ireland but did not win another game all season. The offseason has been filled with turmoil as they had to deal with a hazing scandal and a new head coach. The Wildcats scored 13.8 points a game last season, ranking 128th. On the defensive side, they allowed 28.3 points which ranked 86th. Rutgers opened the season at 3-0, then reality set in and they went 1-8 in Big Ten play. Rutgers put up 17.4 points a game, ranking 124 and they allowed 29.2 points, ranking 95th. I have a feeling this game is going to be ugly. Rutgers and Northwestern return with two of the seven worst offenses in the country last season. I actually think both teams could be worse this season. Both defenses were horrible last season but neither team has the offense to take advantage of it..

Play on the Under, This is a 4% play.
