Rutgers vs Michigan Prediction, Odds And Best Bet Today: Bet Knights +10, Danny Wolf 10+ Rebounds on February 27

The Michigan Wolverines are a good bet to win for the eighth time in nine games as a double-digit favorite in NCAA basketball lines when the Rutgers Scarlet Knights visit on Thursday.

The 15th-ranked Wolverines grinded out a 49-46 victory at Nebraska on Monday and hope to get their offense in gear as March Madness approaches. Michigan needs a win to remain in a first-place tie with Michigan State in the Big Ten.

Rutgers had expectations to be a factor near the top of the league, but is at .500 with three games left in the regular season. However, the Scarlet Knights have won two straight and lost by just three at home versus Michigan on Feb. 1.

Rutgers vs Michigan Prediction Today

Michigan has struggled on offense of late, but has only lost once at home and should find a way to pull it out against disappointing Rutgers. We expect the Scarlet Knights to put up a fight with their talented freshman duo of Dylan Harper and Ace Bailey while the Wolverines are just 13-14 ATS at BetUS Sportsbook.

Top 2 Rutgers vs Michigan Betting Picks

1. Rutgers ATS +10

Michigan managed 62 points in a loss to Michigan State at home last Friday and shot just 29.5 percent from the field at Nebraska.

Expect coach Dusty May to find some answers for the Wolverines, but Rutgers will not be a pushover. The Scarlet Knights have been impressive the last two games, especially the 95-85 win over USC last Sunday when they converted 55.6 percent from the field.

Guard Dylan Harper (19.4 ppg) did not play in the first game against Michigan and fellow freshman phenom Ace Bailey (18.4) continues to produce. These two make Rutgers a decent bet to beat the bloated college basketball spread.

Bet On Rutgers +10

2. Rutgers vs Michigan Under 154 (-105)

No doubt, both teams can put up points. But if Rutgers is going to keep it close like they did in Piscataway earlier this month (66-63), it will have to battle on the defensive end.

The Scarlet Knights also forced 17 turnovers in the first matchup with the Wolverines. It won’t be a slog like Michigan’s last game at Nebraska, but it could be played in the low 70s and that makes the under a good online bet.

Michigan’s leading scorer Vladislav Goldin (15.6) was held to eight points on Monday while Danny Wolf (12.7 ppg, 9.9 rpg) posted his second double-double in three games for the Wolverines. Tre Donaldson (12.3 ppg) is the player who ignites Michigan, though.

Rutgers vs Michigan Best Player Prop Pick

• Danny Wolf 10+ Rebounds in Michigan Victory (+119)

Danny Wolf has put up better numbers since he saw Rutgers on Feb. 1.

The 7-0 transfer from Yale had 16 points and 14 boards in Piscataway and has averaged 14 and 10.3 in seven games this month. Wolf had 10 points and 10 rebounds at Nebraska for his 12th double-double of the season.
