#339/340 ASA PLAY ON 8* Over 68 Points – Michigan State vs Ohio State, Saturday at 12:00 PM ET - This is a terrible match up for MSU’s defense. Sparty ranks DEAD LAST in the country in pass defense allowing 351 yards per game through the air and 111th in total defense. They are facing an OSU offense that is rolling right now and ranks #1 nationally in total offense and #6 in pass offense. This Buckeye offense just put up 59 points and 624 yards last week vs Purdue who came into the game as the 20th ranked defense in the nation. It could have been much worse as Ohio State had 52 points with 11 minutes still remaining in the 3rd quarter in that game. And that was vs a top 20 defense and now they face a bottom 20 defense on Saturday. While MSU’s defense stinks, they can score points. They are averaging 31 PPG in Big 10 play which is 2nd in the conference behind OSU who is averaging 48 PPG. Even vs the 2 top defenses they’ve faced this year (Michigan & Purdue) the Spartans scored 37 and 29 points respectively. This total seems high at 68 but let’s compare it to OSU’s total last week when the faced Purdue. That number was 65 and the Boiler defense is FAR superior to and MSU’s offense is ranked 40 spots higher than Purdue’s, yet this total is only 3 points higher. Weather looks great in Columbus with high temps in the upper 40’s with very little wind. Shootout here and we like the Over.
