How can we be 7.5 point favorites?

[longtimer]

We have struggled to score against the likes of SDS and Clones as well as raking up 350 yards against a horrible Nevada team
Playing at Rutgers which is sold out. They are playing to win their 1st home conference game in like 4 years?
The experts must really not like Rutgers (i don't either) but if I were betting would have to take Rutgers and the points

It’s a definitely a tempting bet. I’m still taking the under in this game.

Because of the Rutgers quarterback situation would be my guess. Jokes aside, their QB situation is far worse than ours. There is talk about the TE getting playing at quarterback.

I would stay away from it. It seems too easy to take Rutgers +7.5. The over/under is 34 and that feels too high.

Iowa was favored because they are light years better than Rutgers. They played three trash cans, Iowa actually challenged themselves

And not only three trash cans, but three trash cans on the 622 route. Yikes!

This thread didn't age well.

Vegas knew that Iowa's D would outscore every other unit on the field. It was quite predictable how this game went down.....
