Rutgers Turns up the Heat in the Big East.

Rutgers defeated the Huskies 24-13 in what was definitely not one of their better games of the season. Neither Rice nor Leonard nor Teel had a very impressive game. The Huskies' Donald Brown was able to rack up 199 yards on the ground. But still the Scarlet Knights found a way to win and improve to 8-0 and are tops of the Big East for now.

Thursday night Louisville goes against West Virginia with the victor sharing the top with Rutgers. Both those schools are 7-0 and both are yet to play Rutgers. Rutgers has a bye this week, and will need it to prepare for Louisville whom they play November 9th.

The last meeting between the two schools ended up with Rutgers getting steamrolled 55-6. This year the D is much better for Rutgers but allowing Brown to run as much as he did, is going to be a concern, and an area I am sure Schiano will be focusing on to improve and prepare.

The Louisville-West Virginia game is going to be a back and forth contest just like last year when West Virginia pulled out the victory 46-44. Our early investment advise on this game, which we're giving away here free for all, is to get the over of 56 and to take West Virginia at +1.5. The feeling around the office is that the rushing game powered by Slaton will be too much for Louisville to handle.
