Can Rutgers Secure A Win?
Currently, both teams are almost matched on sportsbook predictions; however, Rutgers holds a slight lead. Rutgers averages 413.3 total yards per game (47th in FBS), led by 282.8 passing yards (21st). Maryland counters with 380.9 yards allowed (85th). The Terps hold a +7 turnover margin (17th nationally). Rutgers controls possession at 32:51 per game (11th).
In their last meeting, Rutgers won 31-17 at Maryland behind a strong second half. Staff must be watching the film of the previous match as closely as possible, to make sure Rutgers repeats the history.
After Maryland, Rutgers is slotted to face Ohio State and then Penn State; in both games, Rutgers holds less than a 30% chance of winning according to Sportsbooks like BetMGM. Knights need this win, or it is most likely over for them this season.
