Rutgers at Michigan odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Rutgers at Michigan odds and lines, with college football expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Rutgers Scarlet Knights (3-0, 1-0 Big Ten) visit the No. 2 Michigan Wolverines (3-0, 0-0) Saturday. Kickoff from Michigan Stadium is set for noon ET (Big Ten Network). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Rutgers vs. Michigan odds, and make our expert college football picks and predictions.

Rutgers continued its hot start to the season with a 35-16 win over Virginia Tech as a 6.5-point underdog last Saturday. The Scarlet Knights have been a very balanced offense to start the season. QB Gavin Wimsatt has completed 51.5% (34-of-66) of his passes for 407 yards and 3 TDs while RB Kyle Monangai has rushed for 357 yards and 5 TDs on 58 carries.

Michigan has also looked dominant again in Week 3 action, clobbering Blowing Green 31-6 but failing to cover as a 41-point favorite. The Wolverines have scored 30 or more points while allowing 7 or fewer points in 3 start games to start the year.

QB J.J. McCarthy looked a bit rough against Bowling Green, completing 8 of his 13 passes for 143 yards for 2 TDs against 3 INTs. However, Michigan’s run game and defense were stellar in the win as the RB duo of Blake Corum and Donovan Edwards combined for 151 rushing yards and 2 TDs on 21 carries.

Michigan is No. 2 in the US LBM Coaches Poll powered by USA TODAY Sports.

Rutgers at Michigan picks and predictions

Prediction

Michigan 35, Rutgers 7

Moneyline

PASS.

I like the Wolverines to cover here as they have won their last 8 straight vs. Rutgers, but -3000 favorites are not worth the risk. Bet on the spread and/or total instead.

Against the spread

LEAN MICHIGAN -24 (-110).

The Wolverines have dominated the Scarlet Knights lately, and I expect that to continue here. Coach Jim Harbaugh to the sidelines after serving a 3-game suspension so I expect the Wolverines to look even more dominant than they have in the previous 3 weeks. Michigan has won 5 of its last 8 vs. Rutgers by more than 24 points, and this year will likely be no different.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 44.5 (-115).

Michigan has been dominant defensively, only allowing 16 points through 3 games, and I don’t expect this contest to be any different. Rutgers has scored 24 points in all 3 games to start the year, but that should come to an end here. I could see the Wolverines’ offense carrying this game to the Over, but as they haven’t yet scored over 35 I don’t think it will happen Saturday.

Rutgers vs. Michigan picks and predictions

Prediction

Michigan 68, Rutgers 61

Moneyline

PASS.

Michigan has played far better to end the season and beat Rutgers by 13 on its home court. The Wolverines aren’t worth a play at (-170) given they are still 3-4 straight up over their last 7.

Stream select live college basketball games and full replays: Get ESPN+

Against the spread

LEAN MICHIGAN -3.5 (-105).

Simply put, Michigan is playing better basketball. March is about getting hot and staying hot. Rutgers has lost 2 in a row and 6 of its last 8 games. Michigan has covered 5 in a row and 8 of its last 10.

That’s an impressive stretch of play from the Wolverines. They have scored at least 84 in 3 of their last 5 games. Michigan is 12-7-1 ATS in conference games while Rutgers is just 10-9-1 ATS.

Considering the trends pointing to the Wolverines, back MICHIGAN -3.5 (-105).

Over/Under

BET UNDER 133.5 (-110).

Rutgers has gone Under in 4 of its last 5 games and in 7 of its last 9. The Scarlet Knights have scored under 60 points in 4 of its last 5 games as well. Their offense, which ranks 274th in points per game (68.2), hasn’t been there down the stretch.

Michigan is 4-3 O/U in its last 7, but ranks outside the top 150 in field goal and 3-point field goal percentage. Its offense has played to the pace and tempo of its competition and hasn’t been consistently good either.

Considering the first battle ended 58-45, ultimately back the UNDER 133.5 (-110).

Rutgers at Michigan odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Wednesday’s Rutgers at Michigan odds and lines, with college basketball expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Rutgers Scarlet Knights (16-10, 10-6 Big Ten) will visit the Michigan Wolverines (14-11, 8-7) Wednesday at Crisler Center. Tip-off is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET. Below, we look at the Rutgers vs. Michigan odds and lines, and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and bets.

The Wolverines will play this game with head coach Juwan Howard on the sideline as he’s been suspended five games for his role in a postgame brawl Sunday against Wisconsin.

The Wolverines failed to cover after a late push by the Badgers as they fell 77-63 as 2.5-point road underdogs. Michigan has covered just three of its last nine games and is 10-15 against the spread (ATS) this season.

The Wolverines are 6-9 ATS in conference play, while the Scarlet Knights are a conference-best 11-5 ATS with an ATS spread margin of plus-4.4 points.

Rutgers is 12-12-2 ATS this season and it’s covered five of its last six games despite a push as a 12-point road underdog to Purdue in an 84-72 loss Sunday in its last action.

Rutgers has covered or pushed as an underdog seven times across its last 10 games and failed to cover as a favorite in the remaining three. The Scarlet Knights enter this road battle as the former.

Rutgers at Michigan odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Michigan 71, Rutgers 68

Money line

PASS.

I can’t fully get behind Rutgers (+175), but it’s the only playable side with Michigan potentially demotivated and lost as it navigates a few games without its head coach.

Against the spread

BET on RUTGERS +4.5 (-108).

It’s almost hard to believe that Rutgers is 10-3 ATS as an underdog. While it hasn’t been winning at a high rate this season, it has been able to hold conference games close and has won four of its last five games — all as an underdog.

Michigan is 4-7 ATS at home and it could be dealing with added issues, especially if the game is close late, without Howard at the helm.

The Wolverines are led by 7-foot center Hunter Dickinson. Rutgers, with 6-foot-11 center Clifford Omoruyi, will have the size to counter Michigan which is huge in neutralizing Dickinson.

The best bet of this conference battle is RUTGERS +4.5 (-108).

Over/Under

“LEAN” to the OVER 135.5 (-115).

If there’s one thing both teams have been good at, it’s been going over the projected total. Michigan is 15-10 O/U this season while Rutgers is 15-11 O/U.

Michigan is 6-5 O/U at home and Rutgers is a conference-best 8-3 O/U on the road. On top of that, Michigan is a conference-best 11-4 O/U in conference games.

The trends point to the Over 135.5 being a good play here.

Rutgers at Michigan odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Sunday’s Rutgers Scarlet Knights at Michigian Wolverines odds and lines, with college football expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Rutgers Scarlet Knights (3-0) and No. 19 Michigan Wolverines (3-0) meet Saturday in their Big Ten Conference opener at Michigan Stadium in Ann Arbor. Kickoff is scheduled for 3:30 p.m. ET. Below, we look at the Rutgers at Michigan odds and lines, and make our expert college football picks, predictions and bets.

The Scarlet Knights have been impressive in three wins, including a 61-14 win in the opener Sept. 4 vs. Temple, and 45-13 vs. an FCS Delaware last weekend. In its only road test, Rutgers passed, 17-7, at Syracuse as 2.5-point favorites, and they’re 3-0 against the spread (ATS).

The Wolverines, No. 19 in the AFCA Coaches Poll powered by USA TODAY Sports, are also 3-0 ATS to date, including a 63-10 beatdown against Northern Illinois. Michigan is averaging 514.7 total yards per game while rolling up 350.3 rushing yards per contest.

Rutgers at Michigan odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Michigan 34, Rutgers 20

Money line

Michigan (-1450) will cost you 14.5 times your potential return, and as well as they have played during the non-conference schedule, that’s way too much risk against a fellow unbeaten conference team.

AVOID.

Against the spread

RUTGERS +20.5 (-112) is worth a look catching more than 20 points. The Scarlet Knights have been good enough offensively, but it’s the defensive side of the ball where they have excelled. Rutgers is allowing just 261.7 total yards per game, and they have yielded just 11.3 PPG.

Michigan -20.5 (-108) will certainly score in this one, especially at home, but Rutgers +20.5 (-112) is easily the best team they have seen so far, and yes, that includes Washington.

Over/Under

OVER 49.5 (-112) is the lean, but only make a small-unit wager on this one. Both of these teams have allowed just 11.3 PPG to date. Still, this is the conference opener, and not a game against an FCS foe or a MAC opponent, so you can expect a little more in the way of points here.
