Thoughts on Rutgers at -3

**JMUplayer** · 12-15-09, 08:29 AM

I actually like Rutgers in this spot..... call it a hunch.

**2daBank** · 12-15-09, 08:51 AM

if wyo/fresno wasnt same night id probly take a shot at rutgers but fresno seems like play of night in that 1..gl

**BigdaddyQH** · 12-15-09, 09:53 AM

I think the line is about right. Rutgers loves to win bowl games, but could not compete with the top 3 Big East teams. They played allof them at home, and lost every game. Their loss at Syracuse was also rather puzzling. I would not be jumping all over this game. I rarely make a lot of bowl wagers, and this year is no exception. Pass.

My stupid set up doesw not allow me to send or receive PM's. I have asked a million times about how to fix that, but no one will answer me.

i am a ucf student and i will personally be fading HARD. the line amazes me... probably based on the fluke win over houston. take rutgers.

**Slate** · 12-15-09, 06:06 PM

FYI

C Fla...........9-2 vs spread
Rutgers......6-6

**Cougar Bait** · 12-15-09, 06:14 PM

Game will be at Tropicana Field as well...pretty much a home game for CFL...how well do you think Rutgers fans will travel for this meaningless bowl game?

Then you are fading the wrong team. UCF wins this game straight up. Screw the points, ML is the play. Rutger's will not be able to establish the running game and they will make mistakes if they pass. UCF wins in a close one.

I actually agree that this is one of the better Bowl game to bet on - Central Florida Money Line!

I think Rutgers has a lot of talent, just could not put it all together this year. I am going to play them.

**bluntsallday** · 12-16-09, 01:36 AM

trust me when i tell you we straight up suck. we will let you down. jj has the play correct

do you really think it matters?!?!?! no one goes to the games here anyways. we get wasted then watch it at some bar, because we never win.

**cappinthepigs** · 12-16-09, 09:56 AM

Read my blog and you'll see what the play is.

Rutgers tries to recruit hard in FLA. Part of the reason they accepted the bowl bid. Schiano will have his team playing hard to impress recruits that most likely will be at the game. UCF is just not that good. I may not touch it, but I lean Rutgers way.

exactly

**LT Profits** · 12-16-09, 10:08 AM

But Rutgers hasn't beaten a team that is better than UCF all year. Why should they do so now?

**bluntsallday** · 12-16-09, 10:45 AM

because mark my words when i say UCF BLOWS. i go here. i know how bad we really are because i'm forced to watch it week in and week out. Rutgers is like 3-1 bowl games last 5 years or so.... UCF is 0-2.... george o leary is a terrible coach and he always finds ways to lose. with a few weeks of rest we will be more rusty then a trombone, and rutgers will be lookin sharp. the only reason we're even in this bowl is because of 1) money interests and 2) CONFERENCE USA IS TERRIBLE.... so terrible. i guess we'll all agree to disagree!!!

**SBR_John** · 12-16-09, 11:32 AM

I have to pass on this game. If I was forced to bet it I would bet CF. But Rutgers offense is getting the job done and in a tight game I wouldnt want to be betting against them. But still think CF has more talent and wins the game.

I do not even have that option. When I went to settings, and then to edit options, I have nothing that has to do with enabling private messages. I only have options for e-mails. It is very fustrating.

**TodayIsForgotten** · 12-16-09, 12:51 PM

I think the -3 is a decent pick. The problem with Rutgers this year is at the QB position. While their QB has the potential to be good he's too inconsistent right now and it seems like Schiano isn't comfortable with him throwing a lot of long balls. They have great D and if they are on offensively they are a tough team to beat.

HA! Awesome!

**phillybets** · 12-16-09, 05:02 PM

I took Rutgers BIG at -2.5 a few days ago. My book has it at 3 now. I'm hoping it goes to 3.5 so I can bet UCF and hedge my bet back a little (and have a small window to win both!)...But will still have my money on Rutgers

After reviewing all the bowl games I was interested to find out that Rutgers is #1 in the NCAA in turnover margin out of 120 teams.

**BGS 9.5** · 12-16-09, 09:09 PM

I have UCF season tickets and think thery have an excellent chance here. Basically a sold out home game for them as well....

This is a negative, as it says they have been lucky. Turnovers are too random to be predictive.

And while you guys were getting drunk, UCF went 8-4 with a win over Houston. Not bad for a team that "never wins".

**pavyracer** · 12-16-09, 09:19 PM

Rutgers wins in a rout. 38-13 final score.

**koby25** · 12-16-09, 09:20 PM

. Nice.

**Slate** · 12-16-09, 09:32 PM

I am a Rutgers fan and live about 20 miles away, they have been inconsistent this year, I do not know what to expect from them. I hope they win but putting my money on them is rather risky. If their offense is on then they will win going away. If their offense is off then they will lose. Go Rutgers

and that right there is exactly why the square money will ride ucf. that win was a fluke.... Brynn Harvey rushed for 139 yards... 3 TD's (career-high)...Brett Hodges also had a CAREER high completion percentage... 84%. dont expect that to happen again and i dont know what kind of lame ass college you went to but here at UCF we like to get wasted AND watch football at the same time....
