This is an 8* play on WMU.

Outright win? Of course not! But while WMU did lose QB Kaleb Eleby and WR Skyy Moore, the team returns the fantastic running duo of Sean Tyler and La'Darius Jefferson.

Michigan State had one of the Nation's worst pass defenses last year, and while it worked in the offseason on that weakness, the Spartans still have to go out on the field and prove it.

This is admittedly not the same WMU team from a year ago, but it'll still be able to test MSU deep. The Broncos should also have one of the best defenses in the nation as well again.

Michigan State's game plan will be simple, to pound away at the Bronco defensive front with the run game. Kenneth Walker is gone though. QB Payton Thorne and WR Jayden Reed will be able to make some plays, but not enough in my opinion.

The Spartans will be able to slow down this WMU offense, but not quote enough.

WMU is a good team, and if you aren't are you're best, it's going to shock you.

That's not going to happen today, but the stage is definitely set for a much tighter game than what the oddsmakers are trying to lead us to believe.

Grab the points, the play is WESTERN MICHIGAN.

Good luck, NP
