It was a great first quarter for the Scarlet Knights.

O/U: 44.5 or higher (-112), 44.5 or lower (-108)
Moneyline: Rutgers +138, Virginia Tech -163
Virginia Tech came into the season with high expectations, but the Hokies haven’t lived up to them. At least for now. Rutgers’ offense is on fire, and if they can run the ball effectively and the defense can contain the Draughns, the Scarlet Knights have a good chance of finishing 3-0. Rutgers 27, Virginia Tech 17
