3. Michigan State
Caesars Win Total: 4.5
Win Total Should Be Set At: 6
– Bet on this, BetMGM latest line
The total is set at 4.5?! Just how much of a mess do you really think Michigan State is going to be?
New head man Mel Tucker comes in from Colorado looking to energize a program that had gone stale over the last two seasons under Mark Dantonio.
The running backs are going to be good, but QB Brian Lewerke is done along with a few top receivers. Fortunately, all five starters are back on the offensive line.
It’s not like the defense is starting from scratch – five starters are expected back – and all you’re looking for to get the pick right is for this group to be just okay in a five-win season.

Tucker won five games with Colorado last year.
Northwestern, at BYU, Toledo, Miami. That’s September, and that should be a 3-1 run. Even if it’s 2-2, you just need three more wins.
There’s the safety blanked of Rutgers and at Maryland to close out the year. Minnesota is a home game, and Indiana is certainly beatable on the road.
Five wins. The Spartans will get there.
