Rutgers Scarlet Knights vs Alabama Crimson Tide
Game Prediction!
The Pick: Rutgers ML +150
I’m betting on the Raiders to keep this game tight. The Chiefs haven’t been impressive lately, and their defense is a big worry for this matchup. If Bryce Young can do well against the Chiefs' defense, Aidan O’Connell can too. O’Connell won’t be making turnovers and will guide the Raiders to score at least a couple of touchdowns. The Raiders will keep it within a touchdown. Go with the Raiders on the spread.
