Northwestern at Michigan State 3:30 ET
Spartans (+) over Wildcats- After defeating Wisconsin 17-7 last week Northwestern is now 5-0 SU and ATS and face one of the Big Ten's bottom dwellers as Michigan State is just 1-3 and have been badly out-played in three of their four games squeaking out a 27-24 victory as a 21-point underdog against rival Michigan. The Spartans opened the season losing to Rutgers who had lost 24 straight-Big Ten games beat the Wolverines and them were pummeled by both Iowa 49-7 and Indiana 24-0. They have had two weeks to get ready because their game against Maryland was cancelled last week while the Wildcats are off a huge win over the Badgers and oddly enough have been out-gained yardage wise by three of their five opponents. The underdog is 11-5 ATS in the last 16 meetings but sadly for the Spartans they are 0-8 ATS in the last eight meetings as hosts. But, I expect Northwestern to be a bit flat after defeating Wisconsin who out-gained the Cats by 103 yards. In a surprise with the points. take MICHIGAN STATE!
