Rutgers on Fire, Michigan Skidding ATS
Recently, Michigan has been barely scraping by in their victories, with none of their last eight wins coming by double digits. That includes narrow wins like their 3-point victory against Rutgers themselves.
On the flipside, Rutgers has been treating bettors well on college basketball sportsbooks, covering in 9 of their last 12 games. Surprise, surprise, they've also covered 11 out of 12 games against a +11.5-point spread. Whoa, drop that Mickey D's shake, this team can flat out ball!
One Important Note: Freshman sensation Dylan Harper's return to the lineup for Rutgers can't be ignored. In the six games Harper has been back, Rutgers has gone 3-3 outright and a brilliant 5-1 ATS.
The Rutgers offense has also taken a noticeable leap forward in those six games, averaging 79.5 points. That's a 20-point increase from the Michigan offense's recent struggles, which has lost nearly nine points over their last six games, with an average of 70.3 points.
With the current performance trends, Rutgers looks like a team that can cover a large spread like the one set for this game against the Wolverines.
