Dominic Fazzini Friday's play 10 Dime -- Rutgers (minus points vs. ARMY)

RUTGERS

The Scarlet Knights have owned the Black Knights since 1991, winning Nine of 11 meetings, including four straight since 2002. And the past two games have produced a combined score of 71-9.

Army's offense is one-dimensional, relying almost entirely on its running game, ranking 12th in the nation on the ground at 222.6 yards per game, but averaging just 73.4 yards through the air. Rutgers' defense thrives against the running game, however, allowing just 91.5 yards per game.

The Scarlet Knights just played under the Friday night lights last week in a 24-17 loss at Pittsburgh, so they have had a normal week of practice and know the routine of playing a Friday night game on national television.

Rutgers freshman QB Tom Savage is 4-1 as a starter, and has completed 57.3 percent of his passes for 941 yards and five touchdowns with one interception. He should be able to throw against Army on what is supposed to be a pleasant night weather-wise.

The Black Knights lost 27-13 at Temple as a 10 1/2-point underdog Saturday, as the Owls pulled away with two touchdowns in the fourth quarter.

Rutgers is 6-0 ATS against Army, including 3-0 at West Point, and the Scarlet Knights are 14-6 ATS on the road and 10-4 as a double-digit favorite. And the Black Knights are 2-7 ATS overall, 1-5 at home and 7-19-1 as a home underdog. Take Rutgers to cover the points on the road tonight and produce an easy victory.
