Rutgers listed as heavy favorite over FCS opponent.
Rutgers is set to face off against FCS opponent Howard in their upcoming home game on Friday, September 25, at 7 p.m. The Scarlet Knights are being favored by FanDuel with a 42.5-point spread, reflecting their status as the clear favorites due to Howard's FCS status and Rutgers' recent improved performance. Despite a recent loss to No. 12 USC, Rutgers' defense managed to make stops against a high-powered offense, while their offense showed improvement in moving the ball and creating big gains.
Howard, currently at 1-2, has struggled with losses to Richmond and Indiana, averaging low passing and rushing yards, and points per game. The key to Rutgers' potential victory will be maintaining a mistake-free game and capitalizing on any defensive stops.
