Ohio State Form
Ohio State remain on course for the College Football playoffs following their eight consecutive win.
The Buckeyes opened with a 23-3 win at conference rivals Indiana, and backed that up at home with a 35-7 victory over Youngstown State and a 63-10 blowout of Western Kentucky.
They then staged a dramatic late fightback to snatch a 17-14 victory when they visited #9 Notre Dame in late September.
Ohio State’s streak continued as they beat Maryland 37-17 at home and Purdue 41-7 9 on the road, setting them up for a showdown with #7 Penn State.
The Buckeyes won that home game, 20-12, before improving to 8-0 with a 24-10 victory at Wisconsin last weekend.
Rutgers Form
Rutgers enter this matchup on the back of a couple of victories that have improved their record to 6-2.
The Scarlet Knights opened the season with three consecutive home wins, beating Northwestern 24-7, Temple 36-7 and Virginia Tech 35-16.
Their perfect start was then halted by a 31-7 defeat at Michigan, but they rebounded quickly with a 52-3 demolition of Wagner.
Rutgers then lost 24-13 at Wisconsin, only to again issue a swift response to a loss.
The Scarlet Knights rebounded with a 27-24 win at home to Michigan State, and they then travelled to Indiana to record a 31-14 victory.
Verdict
Ohio State’s defense continues to stifle the opposition so Rutgers are unlikely to enjoy much success.
And on the opposite side of the football, the Buckeyes have the firepower to pull away and cover the spread.
