Game of the Week (NCAAF) - Schule's BIG10 *BLOCKBUSTER* SPARTANS vs WOLVERINES
(NCAAF) Michigan State vs. Michigan,
10/17/2015 11:30 AM, Score: 27 - 23
Point Spread: 7.00 | -130.00 Michigan State (Away)
Result: Win
Point Spread: 7.00 | -130.00 Michigan State (Away)
Result: Win
This is a 10* play on the Michigan State Spartans.
The Wolverines are coming off three straight shutout wins, out-scoring opponents 97-0 in those games. Due to their recent success, they come into this Saturday's home game versus the Spartans as a big favorite. Michigan State has won six of the last seven meetings between the two teams, and they covered the spread in all seven of those games.
The visitors have a huge edge when it comes to the quarterback position, with senior Connor Cook who has thrown for 1334 yards and a dozen TDs with just two picks. Michigan's quarterback Jake Rudock has been picked off six times while throwing just five TD passes this season.
The Wolverines will likely lean on their running game, but their leading rusher DeV'eon Smith only ran for 59 yards on eight carries last week, playing with an ankle injury. Smith struggled in last year's loss to the Spartans, managing just 39 yards on 11 carries.
Coming off a string of uninspiring wins over inferior opponents, the Spartans feel they have something to prove here in this game: "Really doesn't take much to have a chip on our shoulder," Cook said. "Doesn't matter if we're the favorite, if we're the underdog, if we're favored by three touchdowns or we're underestimated by three touchdowns."
Take MSU.
