First look: Ohio State at Rutgers odds and lines

Previewing the Ohio State at Rutgers Week 5 matchup, with college football odds, trends and head-to-head records.

The Ohio State Buckeyes (3-1) and Rutgers Scarlet Knights (3-1) meet Saturday afternoon for a Big Ten East contest at SHI Stadium in Piscataway, N.J. Kickoff is slated for 3:30 p.m. ET. Below, we look at the Ohio State vs. Rutgers odds and lines; check back for our college football picks and predictions.

Ohio State defeated Akron 59-7 Saturday and has scored 100 points in two wins since falling to Oregon Sept. 11. The Buckeyes have had some defensive issues and it has been a bit of a rocky start to the career of whoever replaces QB Justin FieldsC.J. Stroud or Kyle McCord. However, freshman RB TreVeyon Henderson has been impressive in moving the chains for OSU.

Henderson has registered 9.5 yards per carry and has scored 6 touchdowns. He figures to be a key weapon against a Rutgers team that has yielded just 3.3 YPC so far.

The Scarlet Knights are coming off a 20-13 loss at Michigan after starting the season 3-0 for the first time since 2012. Rutgers now returns to Piscataway where, with two wins, it has already eclipsed last year’s home victory total (zero).

RU heads into the home tilt against the Buckeyes ranked seventh in the nation in scoring defense (13.5 points per game allowed) and 11th in total defense (265.0 yards allowed per game).
