**Rutgers enters the 2026 season with a low implied win total driven by persistent defensive concerns and a demanding Big Ten schedule.** After finishing 5-7 in 2025 and missing a 5.5-win line, the Scarlet Knights return standout skill talent in RB Antwan Raymond and WR KJ Duff but face major questions on defense after allowing 31.8 points per game last year. New starting QB Dylan Lonergan, a Boston College transfer who won the job over AJ Surace in training camp, adds uncertainty to an offense that showed flashes but must pair with improved takeaways and line play. The schedule features winnable non-conference matchups against UMass, Boston College, and Howard, yet pits Rutgers against ranked teams like USC, Indiana, Michigan, and Penn State. Most projections land in the 4-7 win range, reflecting the program’s need for defensive progress under Greg Schiano to reach bowl eligibility.

Only official regular-season games count. Conference championship games, bowl games, and College Football Playoff games do not count even if the NCAA recognizes them as such. Only played games resulting in a win will count toward this total.
If the listed team plays fewer games than scheduled due to cancellation, weather, forfeit, or any other reason, only actual wins recorded count toward the total; canceled or unplayed games do not count as wins.
If the 2026 NCAA Division 1 Football regular season is cancelled, postponed after December 26, 2026, 11:59 PM ET, or it cannot be determined how many wins the listed team recorded within that timeframe, this market will resolve to "No".
The primary resolution source will be official NCAA and conference records (https://www.ncaa.com); however, a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.
