Schule's NCAAF AFTERNOON EXECUTIONER - EARLY START
(NCAAF) Michigan vs. Michigan State, 10/25/2014 11:30 AM, Score: 11 - 35
Point Spread: -16.50 | -107.00 Michigan State (Home)
Result: Win
This is an 8* play on the Michigan State Spartans.

The Spartans are a big favorite at home this week against Michigan, and you will hear a lot of a rivalry between these two teams. I don't think the Wolverines are good enough to hold up their end of the bargain this year though. The Spartans won this game by a score of 29-6 last year, and their offense has greatly improved this season.

The Wolverines on the other hand are 0-2 on the road, including a 31-0 loss at Notre Dame. Their leading rusher Derrick Green is gone for the year with a broken clavicle, and QB Devon Gardner has struggled. He threw for 210 yards on 14-of-27 passing with no TDs and an INT in last season's loss at East Lansing.

Connor Cook is having a great year for the Spartans, and he has thrown for eight TDs and just one pick at home this season.

Michigan's offense has been prone to turnovers all season long, and that's not likely to change on the road against the Spartans opportunistic defense. The Spartans have covered the spread in six straight meetings in this series, and I can't see any reason why this game would be close.

Take MSU.
