Advice and prediction

I may be a bit jaded by how poorly things have gone for Michigan State these past few weeks, but to me, this line seems way too low. I anticipated this game opening as a four-plus touchdown line since we know how the Spartans have struggled in pass coverage and the Buckeyes can exploit even the best secondaries. So for me, the easy play in this game is taking Ohio State to cover the spread and cruise to a big victory.

Prediction: Michigan State – 10, Ohio State – 45
