Today was a tough day to have a Rutgers +18.5 ticket.
The Ohio State Buckeyes jumped out to an early 7-0 lead, but that was the only touchdown Ohio State would score in the first half. In fact, the Scarlet Knights came roaring back and took a 9-7 lead into halftime.
If you had Rutgers +18.5, you were likely feeling pretty good. According to our Action Network cover probability tracker, Rutgers had a 95% of covering the spread at the start of the 3rd quarter.
However, Rutgers struggled to get anything going offensively in the third quarter and Ohio State started to find its groove. Ohio State took a 21-9 lead.
