Result: Win
The winning 10* answer is just a "click-a-way!"

This is a 10* BIG TEN GAME OF THE WEEK on Michigan State.

Michigan destroyed Minnesota in its opener, while Michigan State got upset by Rutgers last weekend.

The public and oddsmakers are overreacting to both sides after one game though in my estimation and while I'm obviously not predicting an outright upset here, I do definitely expect the visiting side to keep this one a lot closer than what Las Vegas is trying to lead us to believe.

MSU only scored 27 points in one of its final eight games last year, so the 38-27 loss to Rutgers has to be taken with a grain of salt. Rutgers returned many starters and it was a perfect storm of factors working in its favor on opening night. MSU QB Rocky Lombardi was great in defeat with 314 yards and three touchdowns.

Michigan thumped an overrated Golden Gophers team in Week 1, with QB Joe Milton going for 225 yards passing.

Note though that Michigan is just 2-10 ATS in its last 12 in this series.

The Spartans are also 5-1 ATS in their last six on this field.

Despite giving up 38 points to the Scarlet Knights, MSU only allowed 276 total yards of offense in the setback.

I like Lombardi to keep his team competitive until the final moments.

Grab the points, the play is MICHIGAN STATE!

Good luck, NP
