PISCATAWAY, N.J. – Big Ten conference play officially begins on Friday Night with a matchup between the Iowa Hawkeyes and Rutgers Scarlet Knights. While this may not be the most explosive matchup that the conference has to offer, there is still plenty of value across different betting lines.
More specifically, the college football prop betting odds for both Rutgers QB, Athan Kaliakmanis, and Iowa RB, Jaziun Patterson, and their respective yard totals.
Iowa Defense Keeps Kaliakmanis In Check
Athan Kaliakmanis Total Passing Yards
- Over 214.5 -114
- Under 214.5 -114
This is a horrible spot for Athan Kaliakmanis and the Rutgers offense as a whole. Iowa’s defense remains one of the top units in the country each year, and this year is no different. They’ve allowed just over 120 passing yards per game in three games. That includes keeping Rocco Becht, the Iowa State QB, to just 134 total yards on 18 completions.
While Kaliakmanis has shown tons of promise to start the year with 820 passing yards, they have all come against non P4 opponents in Ohio, Miami (Ohio), and Norfolk State.
- Pick: Under 214.5 Passing Yards
Patterson Stays Busy Vs. Weak Rutgers Defense
Jaziun Patterson Total Rushing Yards
- Over 44.5 -120
- Under 44.5 -109
It’s hard to see why sportsbooks with college football props have a low total set for Patterson, considering not just his performance this season, but the run-heavy nature of their offense as well as the weakness of the Rutgers defense.
Patterson gets tons of usage as well, with 10+ carries in two of his three games, and he’s averaged north of 5 yards per carry in each game as well. He’s also gone over 44.5 yards in each game.
The Iowa offense also heavily leans on the run, as they average just 121.7 pass yards per game while putting up over 200 rush yards per game. Defensively for Rutgers, they are vulnerable against the run and has allowed 148.7 rush yards per game this season.
- Pick: Over 44.5 Rushing Yards
