Rutgers vs Wisconsin Prediction 10-12-24 College Football Picks

In this article, we will formulate a Rutgers vs Wisconsin Prediction for this College Football Week 7 Game on Saturday, October 12th, at the SHI Stadium.  Let’s take a look at a Rutgers Scarlet Knights vs Wisconsin Badgers pick.

Can Rutgers Bounce Back From First Loss

Rutgers offense had some major issues in the last Game against Nebraska and they are going to need to bounce back here. Rutgers offense only managed seven points and that led to the seven point defeat. Athan Kalikamanis completed 15 of his 37 passes for 186 yards, one touchdown, and two interceptions. This isn’t an offense that has to score 50 points a Game, but they need better quarterback play to find more success. Kyle Monangai has been the top player for the Scarlet Knights out of the backfield putting up 667 yards and six touchdowns. 

On the season, Rutgers is averaging 29.4 points, while its defense is giving up 15.8 points per game. The offense is ranked 67th in the league, while the defense is ranked 17th. This defense is good, but the offense needs to find a way to get going here. 

Wisconsin Dominated Last Game

Wisconsin sure dominated the last game against Purdue as the offense put up 52 points. At halftime they were up 21-6 and in the second half it was even more impressive. Braeden Locke come into the season as the backup but took over because of injury and had a huge game. Locke compled 20 of his 31 passes for 359 yards, three touchdowns, and two interceptions. Tawee Walker finished with 19 carries for 94 yards and three touchdowns. Chez Mellusi has stepped away from the program. 

Wisconsin, on the season, is averaging 27.6 points, while their defense is giving up 22.6 points per Game. The offense is ranked 78th in the league while the defense is ranked 60th. In this Game if the offense is good, they should cruise. 

Rutgers vs Wisconsin Prediction

Wisconsin is going to have no issue getting the job done in this Game. Rutgers offense really struggled in the last Game and it’s not going to get any easier in this Game against Wisconsin. They are going to really struggle to move the ball here. Wisconsin is going to get another solid Game from Locke and that is going to be the difference here as the Badgers are going to come out on top. Back the Badgers against the spread.
