Spartan fans are expecting a win to open the Mel Tucker era, and it appears the experts in Vegas are thinking the same thing.
Michigan State is currently listed as a 13-point favorite over Rutgers in the season opener on Oct. 24, per Vegas Insider consensus. Vegas Insider listed the opening line at 14, signaling that the line has already been bet down.
Michigan State beat Rutgers 27-0 in last year’s matchup, and have yet to lose to the Scarlet Knights since they joined the Big Ten in 2014. Despite the Spartans’ success against Rutgers over the years, it’s interesting to see MSU as such heavy favorites with so many questions marks entering the upcoming season. Not to mention, that both Michigan State will be working in new head coaches in this matchup.
