Penn State vs Rutgers Basketball Odds and Best Bets
According to DraftKings, Rutgers is a -1.5-point favorite on Tuesday. The best bet is on the total points being under 157. Here are some stats to support this pick: Rutgers’ defense has not been at Steve Pikiell’s usual standard, and in conference play, things get tougher. Per DraftKings, 25 of Rutgers’ last 26 home conference games have gone under 155 points. Penn State has scored 75 or fewer points in each of its last 14 games against Rutgers. This year, the Nittany Lions average 95.5 points in their six home games compared to 79.3 in three neutral-site games. This will also be Penn State’s first true road game of the season, which could pose a challenge.
Penn State vs Rutgers Basketball Predictions
Penn State has quietly emerged as one of the better teams in college basketball, starting the season with an 8-1 record that includes decisive victories over Virginia Tech and No. 11 Purdue. Rutgers, on the other hand, has struggled in the difficult part of their schedule, losing three consecutive games to No. 7 Alabama, No. 17 Texas A&M, and Ohio State. However, those two ranked losses came by a combined nine points, and the loss at Ohio State was their first conference road game with a team led by freshmen. Back in their home arena and with some character-building losses under their belt, the pick here is Rutgers in a close battle.
Rutgers men’s basketball home record in 2024-25 is perfect, with a 4-0 record. In November, they beat Wagner, Saint Peter’s, Monmouth, and Merrimack by an average margin of 15.25 points.
