Rutgers Scarlet Knights vs. Washington Huskies over 60 (-110)
If you read my Rutgers vs. Washington prediction, you already know I like the over in this contest, so let’s include it as the first leg of this same game parlay. Both of these teams are strong offensively, but this is more a play against their respective defenses. Rutgers hasn’t been able to stop a nosebleed so far this season, and I don’t think the bye week ahead of this game will help that cause. Meanwhile, Washington’s defense has left a bit to be desired, specifically in scoring situations. For reference, the Huskies are 134th in points allowed per quality drive, surrendering an average of 4.95 points when their opponents cross their 40-yard line. They have also been mediocre-at-best against the pass, which is an area Rutgers quarterback Athan Kaliakmanis can exploit.
Athan Kaliakmanis (RUT) over 265.5 Passing Yards (-115)
Speaking of Kaliakmanis, I love his passing yards prop in this contest. If Rutgers is going to put points on the board, it’s going to be through the air via the shoulder of the Greek Rifle. Kaliakmanis has a very underrated group of receivers at his disposal, and as I hinted at before, Washington leaves a bit to be desired against the pass. The Huskies defense is 80th in havoc generated by defensive backs, 88th in PPA per pass, 104th in passing downs PPA and 109th in third-down conversion rate. Now add in the fact that Rutgers is a double-digit underdog and expected to be trailing for a majority of this game. All signs point to another active day for the Rutgers quarterback, who had at least 34 pass attempts in 3 of Rutgers 5 games to this point – including 74 combined attempts in Rutgers only 2 games against power-conference opponents.
Jonah Coleman (WASH) 2+ Touchdowns (+120)
Jonah Coleman owns the Washington backfield, tallying 82 carries with 19 receptions. Only quarterback Demond Williams is a real threat to Coleman’s touches out of the backfield, but at 5’9” and 228 pounds, Coleman is the preferred option at and around the goal line. He has scored multiple times in 3 games this season after doing it 3 times last year – all at home aside from the win at Washington State earlier this year.
Considering Washington is a double-digit favorite playing at home against a run defense that ranks outside the top 90 in PPA per rush, rush success rate and rush explosiveness, expect a heavy dose of Coleman throughout this contest. He should be in great position to find pay dirt twice against a Rutgers defense that has surrendered 14 touchdowns in 19 opposing red zone trips – a conversion rate good for 110th nationally. Let’s make Coleman scoring twice the final leg of this Rutgers vs. Washington SGP, as his anytime touchdown and rushing yard props are a bit rich for my taste.
