Rutgers at Michigan State

Michigan State played inspired football after its fiasco at Michigan the week before and the Spartans went out and defeated huge favorite Illinois 23-15. However, the Spartans still have obvious deficiences as they are #110 in total yards of offense and #105 in yards allowed. Also, Michigan State is #103 in passing yards allowed as its secondary hasn't improved much from last year. The Spartans are just 2-5 ATS their past seven games and Rutgers two years ago beat MSU 38-27 before the Spartans avenged that loss in 2021. The Scarlet Knights have struggled playing a tough conference schedule so far, but Michigan State is a team they can hang with after they were predictably blown out by undefeated Michigan on Saturday after leading 17-14 at the half. Michigan State is 7-15-2 ATS following an ATS win and Rutgers has covered five of six versus teams with losing records dating to last season. The Spartans still have several players suspended.
