Point Spread: Ohio
State -2.5
Prediction: I
am very surprised to see Ohio State as a 2.5-point favorite here. I know
Michigan State hasn’t been exactly rolling, but neither has Ohio State. The
Buckeyes have two straight losses to Indiana and Penn State and their issues
from earlier in the season are still big problems right now. The Buckeyes lack
scorers, and that is a big problem against a team like Michigan State. Ohio
State defended MSU well in the Breslin, but Gary Harris played very timid. I
don’t think that will be the case today. Ohio State will be in the game and
keep it close because of their defense, but ultimately the talent will win out,
and Michigan State has a lot more of that. Michigan State 70, Ohio State 63
