Spread for Howard Game?
- Thread starter Miggins
- Start date
When I saw the thread title, I thought I was about to be frisked.
New Homeland Security policy. Adding to no outside food allowed…..
Spreads for games like this are usually released just a few days before kickoff I believe
That's low IMO. I see us winning something like 52-0. Maybe Howard gets a garbage time TD to feel good about at the end.
If this isn’t 59-0 we R not a dark horse
I’m confident we will physically dominant them from the start. Only issue is do we connect on big plays early on and lead 21-0 after 1Q ???

If you mean “dark horse” for the national playoff, I think that talk is a bit over the top. There are going to be quite a number of games , maybe 7 or 8 where the point spread could be within 7 pts either way. In my opinion, an 8-4 season would be outstanding. The Vegas o/u for wins is 6.5
Not if you consider their starters have been decent in the past and once the lead exceeds 28 the top RU starters will likely start getting pulled. I'd guess the spread wiil be in the 38-42 range. And if I got Howard +21 for the end of the 1st qtr I'd really consider taking it.
I was thinking food at the tailgate!
Lets not put the horse before the cart, last season Northwestern beat them 23-20. Northwestern finished 8-5
Although I would rather not see 23-20, I'm not going to get too crazy over the score. We would go up say, 31-10 and then sit a bunch of people and call vanilla plays (cue the anti-GS crowd to come here and say, "Isn't that what we always call?" Spare us, please.) Either way the goal is to obviously to win the game, but also not show too much and most important, stay healthy.
I wouldn't put too much weight on the final score. But what I want to see is the offense drive down the field and score on its first possession. Maybe even its 2, 3 and 4th possession.

Since the 1990s I have have a standing bet on every RU game with a friend I used to work with.
This year's the same .
We decided since most games like Howard didn't have spread published in local paper I would give him 40 points.
This year will give Howard& 40, even though I found this
showing RU-34.5 the best spread for me and RU-37.5 that's still better than the 40 I'll be giving
because that's the way it has been for over 30 years

OK- except that L'Ville game in 08
I would worry a lot if it is at anytime, close...unless they sneak in a crazy 1st quarter TD on a return, Int etc.
We should win by 35 or so - 59 -0 or be worried, is just not reasonable for our team. Greg does not run these types of games up even though most of the "elites" do.
We play the game very vanilla, pull starters early and we are not an explosive offense- so even if we are scoring on 80% of our drives, most of those drives will be taking 5+ minutes

wish I could remember games like Howard and how often RU beat a 40 point the spread.
But , if memory serves me correct, RU beat that spread a majority of the time , in good seasons or a bad one
I am not sure of the spreads but here are the Rutgers 40+ wins since 2000
2000- Buf
2001 -none
2002 - Army
2003- none
2004 - none
2005 - none
2006- Army
2007 - Norfork St
2008 - Big ole L'Ville- one of my favorite games ever
2009 -Texas S
2000 - none
2011 - NC Central
2012-2014 -none
2015 - Norfork St
2016 - none
2017 - Morgan St
2018-2020- none
2021 - Temple MF yeah!
2022 - Wagner
2023 - Wagner
That is not that many times at all. There are a ton of 30 point wins. Greg just doesn't do it that often
With what you posted and off the top of my head: I lost mere of of the FCS (D-1AA) match-ups than I won.
Since the bet me and fried has is so small ( trash-talk rights being the big thing) I tend to forget
the years I won bragging rights or lost them .
Heck if memory serves me correct there were a few yeas RU was so bad that they received a big spread every game and even though RU lost most of the games I come out a winner when it was time to pay.
But couldn't really brag about the season.
When talking about the type of season Rutgers had ( during some real bad years that I came out ahead) I only could come up with a lame remark like : who had to reach in their wallet in an effort to stop the laughter
Northwestern needed a fumbled punt and 4 downs as time expired to score their only points
59-3 Have some confidence ladies and gents !!!

I think you mean Howard.
Would love to see a 40 point win but don’t think we will see it in AK’s first game and new LB’s adjusting with Toure out and Powell not playing.
35.5
Two analysts (one is a Minnesota guy) say here Rutgers does not cover. One guy says 30-35% shot of covering. Discussion starts at 12:00 mark
