“Rutgers +10.5 vs Michigan State”

Thats right, Rutgers. Sometimes you have to just hold your nose and take an underdog, and in this case you might have to close your eyes as well. Michigan State is a program in a bit of turmoil with new head coach Mel Tucker coming over from Colorado. The spartans would not release a depth chart so questions remain, but familiar faces on that defense are gone, and that does not bode well for an offense that averaged 24 ppg and replaces starting QB Brian Lewerke. Rutgers should be improved under Schiano, and I expect a sloppy, defensive struggle

The Pick: Rutgers +10.5
