We kick off our weekend college football picks with a Friday night Big Ten matchup, as my Rutgers vs. Washington prediction expects a strong performance from the Huskies’ offense.

My college football predictions for Week 7 back Washington to put up big numbers and help push this game over the 60-point total. RB Jonah Coleman should play a major role, with his steady workload likely leading to plenty of rushing yards against Rutgers’ defense.

Kickoff for Rutgers vs. Washington is set for 9 p.m. ET (FS1) today at Husky Stadium in Seattle, with the Huskies listed as a 10.5-point betting favorite.

🆚 Who will win Rutgers vs. Washington?

I see Washington winning by enough at home to cover the spread against Rutgers. The metrics view the Scarlet Knights as one of the least efficient defenses in the country. Rutgers’ struggles against mediocre offenses to this point suggest that it will have a hard time slowing down the balanced and potent Washington attack.

Prediction: Washington 38, Rutgers 27

⬆️ Over 60 (-110) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Washington ranks 11th in the nation in adjusted offensive efficiency per ESPN’s FPI. Rutgers ranks 128th in adjusted defensive efficiency and has given up outlier scoring performances to mediocre offenses like Iowa and Ohio. Washington averages 31.8 PPG and should find little resistance against Rutgers’ 90th-ranked scoring defense (29.8 PPG).

On the other side, Rutgers (24th in AdjO) should move the ball and contribute to this total against a Washington defense that ranks 80th in AdjD. Only one game involving Rutgers this year has failed to hit Over 60 total points.

Caesars and bet365 offer the best line on Over at publish time, with -110 odds on Over 60. The implied probability at those odds is 52.38%. A winning $10 wager would profit $9.09.


💰 Best Rutgers vs. Washington player prop bet

Our college football player prop odds tool shows the best odds for every market across legal sportsbooks in your area.

⬆️ Jonah Coleman Over 101.5 rushing yards (-115) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

We’re honing in on a Rutgers run defense that has allowed 4.8 YPC on the year (101st in FBS). Washington RB Jonah Coleman hasn’t hit a triple-digit rushing line over his past few games, but this is a matchup that could suit him.

Coleman is averaging 5.8 YPC and 16.4 rushing attempts per game. The inefficiency of Rutgers’ run defense and the consistency of his efficiency and volume on the ground should vault Coleman beyond this lofty rushing total in a projected positive game script (Washington -10.5).
