4* Free Week 13 NCAA Betting Prediction: Michigan State +20
If you’re a fan of either of these teams you need to enjoy this matchup. Since there’s 4x new teams coming to the Big 10 in 2023, these two won’t play in 2024. The Land Grant Trophy is up for grabs, and the holders will hold it for a while.
Though I anticipate Penn State winning outright, I suggest sticking to the moneyline. We do have Michigan State covering the spread but Penn State is the way to go straight-up.
Penn State are 14-2 SU in their last 16, and 10-2 SU in their last 12 games against an opponent in the Big Ten.
After a lackluster performance in the passing game against Rutgers, I’m not expecting Penn State to bounce back quickly. This is why I’m leaning towards Michigan State as 20-point underdogs on the spread.
Lansing’s had a tough year, but they can finish it strong. The Spartans faced challenges like the firing of head coach Mel Tucker during the season due to sexual assault allegations and close losses to the Hawkeyes and the Scarlet Knights.
Not only does our model have a projected total of 43 points in this matchup, but the eye test has me feeling this line of 42.5 is low. I like Penn State and Michigan State to exceed 42.5 points.
The total has gone OVER in 14 of the Spartans last 20 games against Penn State.
