Point Spread: Ohio
State -3.5
Prediction: Ohio
State may be favored, but I see the Spartans winning this one. Ohio State is
too reliant on Deshaun Thomas offensively and I think Michigan State will do a
good job of really making him work for points. The Spartans have the mental
toughness to win on the road and I think they will respond well following the
loss to Indiana on Tuesday. Keith Appling will be looking to have a strong game
following his letdown against the Hoosiers, and he will help lead MSU to a big
road victory against the Buckeyes. Michigan
State 64, Ohio State 58
