Rutgers and Michigan State are preparing for a Week 7 battle in Piscataway with both programs looking for a bounce-back performance.

Rutgers has lost its last 2 B1G games, but those matchups came on the road against Michigan and Wisconsin. The good news for Greg Schiano is the Scarlet Knights are 4-0 at home where they will face the Spartans in Week 7.

Meanwhile, Michigan State is mired in a 3-game losing streak and is searching for its first Power 5 win of the season. The Spartans have been outscored 98-32 in the losing streak.

As a result of those recent trends, Rutgers opened as a -4 home favorite for the Week 7 matchup. Any fans looking to get in on the action can use Tradition’s signature Michigan Online Casinos promo code or head to BetMGM to get started!

Michigan State leads the all-time series against Rutgers 10-4 and the Spartans are 8-1 against the Scarlet Knights since the program joined the B1G. However, Rutgers did capture the 2020 meeting between the two sides, and the 2022 game came down to a 1-possession battle.

For the Scarlet Knights, the program has a shot at reaching a bowl game with a 4-2 record, but the number of winnable games on the schedule begins to dwindle in the weeks ahead. If Rutgers is going to reach the postseason, Schiano’s crew likely needs a win in Week 7.
