Michigan State has dominated this rivalry series the last six years, including a 29-6 thrashing last season that was even worse than that final one-sided score indicated. The Spartans manhandled the Wolverines, limiting them to minus 48 yards rushing (the lowest total in school history) and sacking Devin Gardner seven times. Gardner was decent last year, but has imploded this year, like the whole team, with six TDs to eight picks. The Wolverines are 10-23-1 ATS in their last 34 road games. Michigan State still has a great defense and the offense is even better behind junior QB Connor Cook, averaging 47 points (#3 in the nation) and over 260 yards rushing and passing per contest. Michigan State is 5-1 ATS at home and on a 13-5-1 ATS run. It's been all Spartans in this series of late as the favorite is 6-2 ATS in their last eight meetings and the Wolverines are 0-6 ATS in their last six meetings. Lay the points on State.
