Rutgers football vs. Penn State: Prediction, point spread, odds, best bet

For the second straight week, Rutgers will head on the road Saturday to take on a ranked team, Penn State

The grind of the Big Ten season is real for Rutgers football, who go on the road on Saturday at No. 12 Penn State.

For the second straight week, Rutgers will head on the road Saturday to take on a ranked team. Penn State dropped two spots this week in the College Football Playoff rankings.

They will be looking for redemption after losing to Iowa in disappointing fashion, 22-0, last week. However, they will be facing a Penn State team that is also looking to put a disappointing loss behind them.

After their game against Michigan, Penn State fired their offensive coordinator, Mike Yurcich. In his place, Ja’Juan Seider and tight ends coach Ty Howle will try to revive a lethargic offense. Saturday represents their first opportunity to prove they can be part of the solution going forward.

While the Rutgers defense is not an easy matchup, the Scarlet Knights have struggled on the road this season. They are 1-3 away from SHI Stadium, with their only road win coming against Indiana. A win over Penn State would be one of the biggest headlines of the season.
