The Knights only allows 91.5 yards per game on the ground and their defensive line can\u2019t shutdown Steelman.<\/p>\n<p>On the other side of the ball Rutgers is more of a balanced offense; they can throw the ball downfield while running it.<\/p>\n<p>QB Tom Savage is the kinds of QB who manage a game more than win it. He averages a TD per game and only had turned the ball over once. WR Tim Brown is definitely his go to guy as he has 548 receiving yards with 3 TD this season, expect big throws to Brown\u2019s direction.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Some trends to keep an eye on:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Army is 1-5 ATS in its last 6 games<br \/>\nThe total has gone UNDER in 4 of Army&#8217;s last 5 games<br \/>\nArmy is 1-5 ATS in its last 6 games at home<br \/>\nRutgers is 5-0 ATS in its last 5 games on the road<br \/>\nThe total has gone UNDER in 4 of Rutgers&#8217;s last 6 games on the road<br \/>\nRutgers is 5-0 ATS in its last 5 games when playing Army<\/p>\n<p><strong>My pick: Rutgers won\u2019t cover the spread.
