like I said, this could be a 56 to 7 beatdown by Washington or this could be a 42 to 17 outcome...UW should have its way, but on the road, week 1, across 3 time zones, if the Rutgers D has a pulse, they could make it marginally interesting with regard to the cover or not. I strongly considered UW early, but I backed off...Its a no play for me. Like someone said, Rutgers is a very bad Power 5 Conference Team, but its still a Power 5 Conference Team, much like other patsies Purdue, and Kansas. If Washington were playing Marshall or FIU on the road, I would consider giving up to 35 points. The Talent Delta would be huge in those scenarios, as would be coaching, facilities and motivation. Rutgers has some athletes, and with their 2nd year coach on a bit of hot seat, I believe they will play hard for 50 to 60 minutes, and will keep trying, at home, no matter what. Thus, the potential for a back door cover.
This is good discussion...Posters helping posters consider all angles, so one can avoid a bad play. That's how it should be...disagree, but be respectful...Any capper worth his salt should consider all information prop and dissenting, to make accurate plays...peace
All good points. Very reasonable points. But the super-squares on this site will line up at the window salivating to drop the 31.5, just like the record shattering -16 on the Cavs in Game 3.

Doesn't take much action for 5D to move lines when limits are so low. ....I'm locked in on a small wager at +31.5. Somewhat doubt it is above 31 near kickoff, but then again I wouldn't be shocked if many bettors took UW based on 2016 alone and kept it near 31 points.
It doesn't take much. Just a few bets and 5Dimes swings it. I've swung College EXTRA games by unloading on them JUST MYSELF!

Scal - I expect you et al to give me an honest critique on my plays/leans, when I post them, prior to making the wager. Right now, I like, week 1, I like Memphis, Alabama, Texas, and N. Dame. Yes, the Texas play is a homer play, and I know there will be insane hype on Herman, but I think this team grossly underperformed with a lame duck coach in Strong. I may no play Texas in week 1, until I see how they come out. That would be the prudent thing to do. But, I honestly believe with the Terps breaking in a new QB on the road in week 1 with their sub 6 foot DBs against Texas 6'3 and 6'5" WRs, and the Texas OL and RB's and a descent QB with a year under his belt, I think there could be some value on Texas up to -17. Last I heard it was -15...I hope to get it at -14. Week 2, my leans are Louisville, Penn State, and Ohio St, all single digit home faves...

Let's just talk Texas. That is a play of interest.
I really have to give Maryland a longer look but right now I think you are on the right side at -16 (the current line on 5Dimes).
Lots of info to come in, in due time.
Interestingly, Charlie Strong is -15 on the road against San Jose State (do the squares love this guy or what!).
Now I did watch SJSU last year and they were horrendous but they can air it out. Have to give them more of a look too. I don't think I'll be laying -15 on the road but that certainly was a line of interest to say the least. Charlie Strong- A square's wet dream...

Why would Rutgers need tape on the Huskies. I'm the one getting 31.5 not you.
This is the same argument I had with guys about the Celtics +16 vs. the Cavs (which worked out nicely in game 3, and game 4 for that matter).
OF COURSE, the Huskies have a TOP FLIGHT recruiting class. Do you honestly think I don't know that. That is like saying the water is wet.
The point is that DOES NOT justify laying 31.5 on the road to this Rutgers squad. And yes their recruits for as lowly as they are regarded by elite schools, is sufficient for THEM and sufficient to get us inside this number.
I say what I said to the Cavs squares..."NOTHING YOU'VE said in your post justifies the point spread, only the win. And NO ONE cares about a ML win line that will be on Pluto if viewed from Earth."

As a Big10 fan this one is too hard to go with. Jerry Kill is the new OC. So yes, Wash. doesn't have film but it's a new OC. How much of a change is he implementing? First game with new OC.
I watched Ohio State and Michigan just destroy Rutgers last year, but Iowa had a terrible game against them. Hmmm.

Understand your thinking, but not for me.
Wow, now bringing in Jerry Kill, a respected coach to improve the Rutgers O that was at the absolute bottom of D1, is questioned as "How much change is he implementing?"
I'll answer that, a whole hell of a lot! So much so, I dedicated a thread in this forum JUST to Kill alone when Rutgers brought him in.
And if you don't like that answer, I have another: "Enough of a change to get us inside this number."
Good things are happening at Rutgers.
If I hear this crap about Michigan and OSU anymore, I'm taking away your capping cards.
Those beatings are a GOOD thing because if they DIDN'T HAPPEN we wouldn't have gotten this mega-line (as clearly the stigma has not worn off) to get under.
Now you can do one of two things:
1) Sit on the sidelines and be scared of a game that is practically prehistoric in terms of this game and this spread.

this is your best argument...this spread at home should be no more than 25, in my opinion...the huge losses to Mich and OSU helped bump it up, from a perception standpoint...but, Wash could be a bit salty after the dd lost to Bama in the playoff, with all that talent. still, this is a np for me, due to I see the cover going either way...

This isn't a horrible play, but not because of the reasons listed by the OP. Petersen isn't Mark Richt or Jim Mora........Washington won't show up & get out-played. His team will be ready & will execute, but won't do anything outlandish to try & embarrass anyone. The only reason they seemingly ran it up on Oregon was due to UO's TO's & the fact that they play no-huddle..........no lead is safe. If Rutgers doesn't turn it over, & makes a couple plays, they can stay inside the #, but that's not something I'd bet on right now.

"After all my moaning and groaning, I kinda agree with the play, but let it be known, it's because of nothing in the OP. Disregard all recruiting info for Rutgers. And analysis of the number itself. And the fact Rutgers got bombed last year in the same first game by the same team on the road and almost covered this number. Those things are meaningless."
Covers....
Yes Hoosier, Michigan Penn State @ Rutgers...31.5 at home is largely due to those woodshed beatings. Love the fact they happened. All Ash needs to do is control the clock and Washington, up late just goes through the montions....= a Cover.

If a team sucks enough to be getting 31.5 at home, i'm not bavking them. I don't care if they'll probably backdoor in garbage time. There's a reason they are 31 point home dogs.

For me...this is a reason to no play this match up...do you back a crappy team at home 1st game, and hope they have a pulse, or do you back a superior team 1st game on the road, after losing their star WR and 3/4 of their starting secondary...form me, there are a number of better potential plays on the board...too much potential variability in this matchup...

Horn,
I can assure you Ash will ugly this game up and won't get his head bashed in. "Other plays" are 3 pt games which are coin flips.
All you need, at home, with Ash's sole purpose in line with this, is to not get destroyed, and this line allows that.
I cannot express how bad Rutgers was last year in this spot. It was one of the worst games I've ever seen them play, worse than PSU last year. And they would have almost COVERED at this line. They will not be as bad as last year and the Huskies won't be as good.
Switch the fields, add the revenge factor and you have a Rutgers loss inside the number.
This is a great spot. It's so good I posted it over 3 MONTHS in advance!!

I think if there will be a cover by Rutgers, it will be if Bolin (Tr from Lou) is the starting QB in this matchup. Bolin along with Kill, and a D that plays with pride, could make it close for a while. I did a scout.com 5 year recruiting comparison...Washington 2013-2017 5 stars - 0, 4 stars 38, 3 stars 63 versus Rutgers 2013-2017 5 stars - 0, 4 stars 5, 3 stars 74. Thus, Washington has an advantage on recruiting, further along in the program under Peterson...but, Rutgers does not have some legit talent on the field. a 30 to 35 point spread with Power 5 talent, with a legit former Ohio St asssistant as HC with a brilliant yet boring (frustrating to opponents, and cappers) new OC in Jerry Kill. Rutgers will try to speed the game up with dink and dunk, and forcing browning to not beat them deep. Playing away, traveling 3 time zones, against an extremely motivated home team. I am still on the fence, but if the public pushes this up to 35 in August, I may have to jump on Rutgers as one of my 3 picks in week 1.

my post above should say rutgers does indeed have legit talent on the field...again, if Bolin is the starting QB, and the spread gets closer to 35, I may jump on Rutgers for week 1...still a no play for me...

I've watched Kill's teams play for the past 5 or so years. He's great as an underdog, because he plays smash mouth the whole game. He'll have a quarterback that plays like a fullback and he'll pass about 15 times the whole game, 95% of those passes will be 10 yards or less. The clock will be shortened and he won't chuck and duck when his team gets behind....his teams hardly ever turn the ball over. His whole mantra is win the rushing yardage battle and the turnover differential battle and things will take care of themselves. He is a throwback to a bygone era of how football was played up until the 2000s. I could have seen him battling Bo and Woody back in the 60s and giving 'em hell.
When he was head coach at Minnesota, his teams stayed within 14 points versus Michigan, Michigan State, Wisconsin and Ohio State despite being heavily out-talented. Granted, he had an awesome defensive coordinator that helped A LOT. But that is what Ash supposedly brings to the table, defense. And, like you said, last year puts the perception in people's eyes that they won't/can't compete. This is a perfect storm of being a covering machine this year for Rutgers.

You will not get 35. I can promise you that! 5 TD's? Hell no. Kill won't speed the game up. He'll slow it down.

Thus, Washington has an advantage on recruiting, further along in the program under Peterson...but, Rutgers does not have some legit talent on the field. a 30 to 35 point spread with Power 5 talent, with a legit former Ohio St asssistant as HC with a brilliant yet boring (frustrating to opponents, and cappers) new OC in Jerry Kill. Rutgers will try to speed the game up with dink and dunk, and forcing browning to not beat them deep. Playing away, traveling 3 time zones, against an extremely motivated home team. I am still on the fence, but if the public pushes this up to 35 in August, I may have to jump on Rutgers as one of my 3 picks in week 1.
You will not get 35. I can promise you that! 5 TD's? Hell no. Kill won't speed the game up. He'll slow it down.
my post above should say rutgers does indeed have legit talent on the field...again, if Bolin is the starting QB, and the spread gets closer to 35, I may jump on Rutgers for week 1...still a no play for me...
My prediction is that Bolin will be out there as the starter. And that is worth a point or 2 in my eyes over the other options.

Rutgers has just today, named Kyle Bolin Louisville transfer their starting QB.
This is exactly what I was hoping for. He was recruited by Texas and chose Rutgers instead. He's played 17 career games at Louisville inscluding 6 starts. One in 2015 to a team that advanced to the National Championship in Clemson losing 20-17 in his second career start.
Rutgers has the 122nd worst passing offense lead in part by a very green Rescigno who I wanted no part of starting this year when it came to my bankroll.
Instead we get experience, poise and leadership behind center in Bolin. And for this, with the virtually the exact same line, I'm adding the following game.
Outside of the starting QB, the write-up would be virtually the same as the OP in terms of losing respectably in front of the alumni/boosters in the face of last year's thrashing.
