Video Summary

Washington Huskies, the defending national runners-up, face Rutgers in a Big Ten matchup on Friday night. Despite losing almost every starter from last year's team, Washington has started the season 3-1, with their only loss coming against Washington State. Rutgers, on the other hand, has gone 3-0, but their schedule has been relatively easy.

The value lies with the underdog Washington Huskies, as they are being underestimated due to their tough loss against Washington State. However, they have bounced back with a solid showing in their Big Ten opener against Northwestern. Washington's offense is still solid, averaging over 450 yards per game, and their defense has looked strong, giving up just 3.5 yards per rush and 4.4 yards per pass.

Rutgers, on the other hand, has a suspect run defense, giving up 5.5 yards per rush, which could be exploited by Washington's balanced offense. The Huskies are also expected to break out of their scoring slump, as they are averaging 457 yards per game.

The line has opened at plus-3, but has been bet down to 2.5 in some spots. However, Washington is still a good value at 3 or more, especially considering their strong defense and Rutgers' weaknesses. If the line gets to 2.5 or less, taking Washington on the money line could be a good option.
