What is the series history between Washington and Rutgers?
Washington and Rutgers have played each other three times previously, with the Huskies holding a 2-1 record against the Scarlet Knights. The two programs did a non-conference "home-and-home" series when UW was still in the Pac 12 in 2016 and 2017 -- with the Huskies winning both of those games by double digits.
However, Rutgers got the best of Washington in the most recent meeting, which was only a season ago. In the first ever Big Ten matchup between the two programs, the Huskies lost 21-18 to the Scarlet Knights in Piscataway, New Jersey -- one of the Dawgs' most disappointing losses of the season.
What is the weather expected to be for Washington vs Rutgers?
As fall starts to settle in, so will the typical Seattle weather. Friday's forecast projects a 60% chance of rain during the day and a 40% chance of rain at night. Regardless of if those odds hit at Husky Stadium, it will still be a cloudy night in the low fifties.
What are the odds for Washington vs Rutgers?
Washington opens up as 10.5-point favorites against Rutgers for Friday's contest, according to most oddsmakers. This is a pretty considerable spread against a conference opponent -- to put it in perspective, No. 1 Ohio State was less of a favorite against the Huskies two weeks ago. Washington's moneyline is set at -420, and the game's total over/under is at 59.5 points.
A Huskies win this week, especially if in commanding fashion, may just be enough to finally become ranked in the AP top-25 poll.
