Michigan State brings the No. 5 ranked defense (yards allowed) into this one. They square off with the visiting Cornhuskers, who have an explosive offense that averages just shy of 40 points per game. With might vs. might, which will win out? Nebrask has certainly been held down lately and by better defensive teams. Michigan State has been even tougher at home where they have allowed opponents to score just 161 total points in their last 12 home games, at a stingy 13.4 ppg. The Spartans will rely on LeVeon Bell who is already over the 1,000 yard mark for the season. He should find some daylight against a Huskers’ defense that is allowing 176 rushing yards per game. Nebraska has struggled on the road where they are 0-5-1 ATS in their last six roadies. Overall they are just 1-5 ATS in their last six vs. a winning team. The Spartans are coming up big vs. good teams where they are now 15-6 ATS in their last 21 vs. a team with a winning record. The Spartans are 14-5 ATS the past three seasons vs. winning teams. Take Michigan State.
