Advice and prediction

It’s hard to have much faith in the Spartans right now, especially against an offense that likes to throw the ball around the field like Maryland. The one thing you have to remember is that under Mel Tucker when the Spartans have lost it’s always been by double-digits. So the trend here is to either pick an outright victory for Michigan State or Maryland to cover the spread with a convincing win. I may regret this decision — or change my mind later this week — but today I’m going to call for the Michigan State upset.

Prediction: Michigan State – 34, Maryland – 31
