Michigan State comes into this game with some momentum following an upset win over Illinois this past weekend. That win moved the Spartans to 4-5 on the year and helped keep them alive for reaching the postseason.

Rutgers is also 4-5 on the year, with losses in five of their last six games. Their lone win was over Indiana in late October.

Advice and prediction

Michigan State’s win last week showed this team isn’t quitting on the year and has plenty of fight still in them. That effort, and the offense (or lack there of) Rutgers possess has me feeling good about the Spartans winning this game. The line seems spot on that it’ll be a comfortable double-digit win for Michigan State but not a big-time blowout.

Prediction: Michigan State 24, Rutgers 14
