What is the Betting Line on the Rutgers vs. Nebraska Game - October 5?

Nebraska was a firm -7 favorite hosting Rutgers for their Saturday game.  Sagarin gives us a line of Huskers -5.5.  There is an overlay.

Kyle Monangai ran for 132 yards and a touchdown and Rutgers held off Washington 21-18 on Friday night when Huskies kicker Grady Gross missed a 55-yard attempt as time expired.

Rutgers won its Big Ten opener to improve to 4-0 for the first time since 2012. Washington (3-2, 1-1) was playing its first Big Ten road game.

Washington cut it to three with 1:40 left on Will Rogers III's 12-yard touchdown pass to Denzel Boston and a 2-point conversion pass to Keleki Latu. The Huskies got the ball back with 35 seconds left, with Gross’ attempt to force overtime sailing wide left.

“Our guys are learning how to do it,” Rutgers coach Greg Schiano said. "We’re learning one step at a time. They (Washington) are a good offensive football team and they’re hard to tackle. We missed a boatload of tackles, but we made them when we needed to. So, really happy for our guys. I’m proud of the way they fought.”

Nebraska comes into this game with a 4-1 record, there only loss to Illinois.

Dylan Raiola threw for 257 yards and a touchdown to lead Nebraska to a 28-10 victory over Purdue in a Big Ten Conference contest Saturday afternoon.

After playing a scoreless first half and trailing 3-0 late in the third quarter, the Cornhuskers scored 28 unanswered points and kept Purdue out of the end zone until the Boilermakers scored in the final 2 minutes.

“They didn’t flinch,” Nebraska coach Matt Rhule said. “To come off the heartbreak of last week when nothing went right (in overtime home loss to Illinois). Glad it ended up 28-10, but it was a game we had to fight for. Guys had to make plays. We had tough calls go against us in the first half and the guys were telling me to keep my composure.”
