RUTGERS -5.5 - As usual, the Scarlet Knights have played very well here at home this season, going 14-2 S/U and an outstanding 9-2 ATS while winning their home games by an average of 12.5 points. Furthermore, their two home losses were by ONE point to a Connecticut team that is now in the NCAA Sweet Sixteen, and by TWO points to a fine Seton Hall squad. Rutgers also routed West Virginia here by 21 points last month, and I like them to flex their muscles again. The Mountaineers are 17-13 S/U overall, but they have a losing record on the road of 6-9 S/U and 7-8 ATS. They lost their road conference games by an average of 9.9 points, and they have lost 2 of their last 3 visits to Rutgers with both defeats being by double digits.
