Free Sports Game Preview and Prediction: Ohio vs. Rutgers
Thursday, August 28, 2025 6:00 PM
Play: Point Spread: +11/-110 Ohio
Last season’s 3-9 mark was the worst in Gundy’s 20-year coaching career. In fact, Gundy has only had two losing seasons his entire career: his rookie season in 2005 and last year. Gundy cleaned house, bringing in 43 new scholarship players. There is a ton of uncertainty surrounding this program because of that. But it has created a value opportunity. The Cowboys will pull two easy wins in the nonconference (UT-Martin, Tulsa). That means they only need four conference wins surpass their win total.
The teams picked at the bottom of the Big 12 last season all exceeded expectations and this is one that I think can do it again. Take the Cowboys to get ‘over’ 5.5 wins.
