The Duke's Sports
Rutgers (-2) for 2 Units
S. Fla is out to avenge last year's 49-16 drubbing in Tampa; however, we'll fade them here knowing they're just 4-11 ATS vs teams above .500, 1-6 ATS in game 9, and 0-4 ATS on Thursdays. And freshman starter - B.J. Daniels - crumbled the last two times facing a top 25 defense throwing 4 interceptions to just 1 TD pass en route to losing to Cincinnati and Pittsburgh. Rutgers' defense is impressive at home and should be troublesome for the first year starter, especially since he'll be missing his top receiver - Carlton Mitchell (ankle). Rutgers' HC Schiano is 5-0 ATS vs an opponent w/ revenge off a double digit SU win. Rutgers' QB Savage does a nice job protecting the football (8 TD/1 INT) and should manage this game well with the crowd behind him. Rutgers the call.
