Game Analysis
Rutgers is a massive favorite over FCS Howard, but the -41.5 spread and 56.5 total are model-generated with no market validation. The talent gap is real, but extreme spreads carry blowout risk — one garbage-time score flips the cover. The over is the leanest play: Rutgers should score 40+ alone, but clock-killing in the second half is a real threat. No sharp signals available; treat all picks as low-confidence exhibitions.
