#834 ASA PLAY ON Nebraska -8.5 over Rutgers, Thursday at 9 PM ET - Nebraska’s home vs road dichotomy is as drastic as any team in the nation. They are 8-0 at home this year and 2-3 on the road (2-1 in neutral site games). At home the Huskers average 83 PPG (71 PPG on the road), they shoot almost 48% at home (45% on the road), and 35% from 3 at home (30% on the road). The Huskers have now won 20 consecutive home games dating back to last season while Rutgers is 0-3 SU on the road this year and they only win 3 of their last 17 road games. The Knights are a young team with 4 freshmen in the starting line up so it’s not surprising they’ve struggled away from home. Four of their last five losses have come by double digits and they are catching Nebraska in a tough spot with the Huskers coming off 2 straight road losses @ Iowa in OT and @ Purdue. The Huskers are much better defensively (top 25 in defensive efficiency) and they are also better offensively averaging 1.12 PPP compared to 1.10 for Rutgers. The Scarlet Knights have failed to cover their last 7 games on the road and we like Nebraska to win this one by double digits. Lay it with the Huskers.
