Northwestern was only 1-11 SU and 5-7 ATS last year. The Wildcats have an inexperienced first-year head coach in David Braun following the departure of former HC Pat Fitzgerald who was fired amid a hazing scandal.

Rutgers is coming off a 4-8 SU and 5-6-1 ATS season, but considering all the off-the-field turbulence in Northwestern I think the Scarlett Knights have a nice edge here.

Rutgers is 6-3 ATS as a favorite L3 seasons. Rutgers is 6-2 ATS in September games L3 seasons. Northwestern is 3-7 ATS in September games L3 seasons.

Bet on the Rutgers with 3% of your bankroll.
