The Nebraska Cornhuskers (2-3, 1-1 Big Ten) travel to Piscataway for their first true road game when they take on the Rutgers Scarlet Knights (3-2, 0-2) Friday at 7 p.m. ET (FS1). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Nebraska vs. Rutgers odds, and make our expert college football picks and predictions.
Rutgers comes into this game after being crushed by No. 3 Ohio State 49-10 last Saturday. The Scarlet Knights should have an easier time against the Cornhuskers. Coach Greg Schiano is rebuilding the Scarlet Knights in his 2nd stint in Piscataway – he coached Rutgers 2001-11 before taking over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and returned in 2020. It is a challenge as Rutgers has a long way to go before being competitive in the Big Ten.
Nebraska recorded a 35-21 a home win last week against Indiana. This was a desperately needed victory for the morale after coach Scott Frost was fired following a 49-14 blowout to then-No. 6 Oklahoma in Lincoln 2 weeks ago. The ‘Huskers look to stay on the winning track this week in New Jersey.
