Rutgers Football Opens As Big Ten's Biggest Underdog

So you are telling me there is a chance? According to the oddsmakers, not much of one though. This may come as a shock to you, but Las Vegas does not have much confidence in Rutgers football in the vaunted Big Ten East division for the 2016 season. Odds were released yesterday by Bovada and Rutgers was given the greatest odds of any East team to win the division title at 50-1. In addition, Rutgers has the same odds as Purdue to win the Big Ten Championship, making them the longest shots at 100-1 odds.

After a 4-8 record in 2015, the coaching change from Kyle Flood to Chris Ash has done little to change the perception of the oddsmakers this coming season.
