Michigan State Spartans #347 over Maryland Terrapins: Not often I will spot road points but it is warranted here. Mich St. will do just enough on offense and specifically QB where they are weak to win and cover this line. Their defense is excellent #1 against the run. That plays right into the Mary strength which is running the ball. When Mary cannot move the ball on the ground they really struggle at QB and pass offense. Secondly we must wonder what the mind is set motivation for the Mary players not to mention game prep from all the turmoil distractions resulting in the controversy and eventual firing of coach Durkin. What a mess! Mich St. has played the 7th toughest strength of schedule while Mary is at 51.I have this game at 4.5 giving us excellent value.
