Wisconsin vs Rutgers Prediction & Picks 10/12/2024

The Wisconsin Badgers will go head-to-head against the Rutgers Scarlet Knights on October 12, 2024, with the Scarlet Knights currently favored by 2.5 points according to DraftKings Sportsbook. The total for the game has been set at 41.5 points, as a low-scoring game is expected from Piscataway, NJ. Be sure to continue reading for our breakdown of what should be an exciting Wisconsin vs Rutgers matchup in the Big Ten.

Wisconsin Seeks Best Win Of Their Season

Last week, the Wisconsin Badgers got their first conference win of the 2024 season, beating the Purdue Boilermakers 52-6 at home. That may have been the best win of the season for the Badgers, as they had yet to beat a power conference opponent going into that game. This week, the Badgers will look to surpass that win over Purdue with a road win over a tough Rutgers team. If that is going to happen, the Badgers are going to need to figure out a way to stifle the running game of Rutgers, who are getting over 100 yards per game on the ground from Kyle Monangai.

Can Rutgers Stay Perfect at Home?

Rutgers suffered their first loss of the 2024 college football season last week, when they fell 14-7 on the road to Nebraska. The Cornhuskers held the Scarlet Knights scoreless for the first three quarters of that game, but Rutgers can take some solace in the fact that their defense was excellent in that matchup despite the loss. This week, the defense of the Scarlet Knights will need to be excellent once again, as they will need to key in on the run to get the better of a Wisconsin team known for its physical style of offense.

Wisconsin vs Rutgers Betting Prediction

In most seasons, Wisconsin would have the upper hand in a Wisconsin vs Rutgers matchup in college football. But based on the way these teams have played this year, we will lay the points with the Scarlet Knights to get the job done in this matchup. The Scarlet Knights have been more successful offensively for the most part this year and Rutgers' spotless home record should remain in tact after this game is completed.
