It's a game that someone has to win, which is great news for these programs. It seems like nothing has gone right for Nebraska recently, who has lost four straight games and made changes to its coaching staff. Rutgers knows the feeling all too well, as the Scarlet Knights enter this game having dropped three straight games.
Despite the turmoil in Lincoln, Nebraska enters this game as a massive favorite, but it's hard to view them as considerably better than any fellow Big Ten team right now.
If you are looking for some betting advice for the matchup, we've got you covered. Here are the latest odds for the game, courtesy of BetMGM.

Nebraska vs. Rutgers prediction, pick:
If there's going to be an area where the Cornhuskers can attack the Scarlet Knights,
it's going to be on the ground. Rutgers has given up the most rushing yards in the Big Ten, so expect to see a heavy dose of Jamal Rule and Mekhi Nelson for Nebraska.
Rutgers is also likely going to feature a ground-heavy attack, as running back Antwan Raymond leads the conference with 789 rushing yards. It was announced that Scarlet Knights wideout KJ Duff will not return this season, so this holds especially true now that their best weapon on the outside is officially unavailable.
The read on this game is that the Cornhuskers are a large favorite who might not deserve that respect right now, as well as the notion that the under might very well be in play here with both teams likely to deploy a conservative approach.
Prediction: Nebraska 21, Rutgers 17
Best Bet: Under 52.5
