Prediction Rutgers vs. Nebraska: Odds, expert picks, player news, betting trends and stats for October 5

With a win over Washington last weekend, Rutgers is 4-0 for the first time since 2012 (1-0 in the Big Ten). They have only been 5-0 seven times in the program’s history, the last time being in 2012. .

The Scarlet Knights are led by RB Kyle Monangai. The 5’9 senior has run for 589 yards and 6 TDs this season, an average of 6.1 yards per carry (3^rd in the nation).

If the Scarlet Knights want to have success against a strong Nebraska team (4-1, 1-1 in the Big Ten) in Lincoln, they will have to establish the series and make life difficult for freshman superstar Dylan Raiola.

Raiola has had a solid start to his freshman season, throwing for over 1,000 yards with 9 TDs and just 2 INTs. His 76.4 QBR is good for 25^e in the nation. Cornhusker Nation believes he could be the missing cog that returns them to college football relevance.

This is an important match for both teams. Nebraska needs to secure a conference win at home, while Rutgers hopes to pull off the upset and remain undefeated.

NBC Sports Bet Best Bets: Rutgers @ Nebraska

NBC Sports Betting Analyst Brad Thomas (@MrBradThomas) is looking for Rutgers to get 7 points:
“As much as people try to talk down to Athan Kaliakmanis, he has already won twice in his career at Nebraska. He is more than a comparable QB and has the confidence to beat this solid Nebraska defense. Rutgers has always been good defensively, but needed consistent play at QB to succeed. Kaliakmanis gives them that consistency. Seven is way too many points. This game becomes a dog fight. I support Rutgers in this.”
