Our Ohio State vs. Michigan State predictions don't expect the Spartans to keep pace against what might be the best team in the country.
Ohio State has crushed its non-conference competition to start the season and will get its first Big Ten test against Michigan State in Week 5.
Head coach Jonathan Smith just doesn’t have the talent to compete against this Buckeyes defense. Michigan State is 114th in SP+ on offense and 83rd in EPA per dropback with Chiles under center. Thanks to having several future NFL players in its secondary and on its D-line, Ohio State is allowing the fifth-least passing yards per game this season .
And the passing game should find even more success against a Michigan State defense that’s 56th in EPA per dropback.While I do expect a Buckeyes blowout win, the combination of Ohio State’s devastating defense and Michigan State’s catastrophic offense should help this Under hit. And he, along with Emeka Egbuka and Jeremiah Smith, should be able to get after a Spartans secondary that allowed two TD passes in its lone Big Ten game against Maryland.Up to $1,500 in bonus bet insurance at BetMGMOhio State opened as a 23.5-point favorite, with a few books coming up to between -24 and -24.5.The Over/Under opened as high as 50.5 but has since come down to 48.5 at most books.
