The Michigan State Spartans (5-6, 3-5 Big Ten) visit Happy Valley Saturday to play the Penn State Nittany Lions (9-2, 6-2). Kickoff from Beaver Stadium is set for 4 p.m. ET (FS1). Below, we look at Michigan State vs. Penn State odds from Tipico Sportsbook; check back for all our college football picks and predictions.
Michigan State is coming off a tough 39-31 double-OT loss Saturday against the Indiana Hoosiers. All the major stats suggest it should have been a blowout win by the Spartans, who had more yards (540-288), more 1st downs (29-11) and more time of possession (36 minutes to 23) than the Hoosiers. The problem was Michigan State’s inability to score after a 3rd-quarter TD. They went scoreless in the 4th quarter and in overtime.
Penn State is on a 3-game winning streak, the latest a 55-10 blowout at Rutgers on Saturday. It was a complete game for the Lions in which the offense, defense, and special teams all shined — the offense scored 4 TDs and had 2 FGs, the defense forced 3 turnovers and had 2 TDs and the special teams had a 100-yard kick return TD.
Penn State is No. 10 in the AFCA Coaches Poll powered by USA TODAY Sports.
