No 3. Michigan State will have the oddsmakers crying

It’s pretty baffling that the oddsmakers at WynnBet have set the line on this game at -19 in Ohio State’s favor.

Michigan State’s body of work this season warrants more respect than being nearly a three-touchdown dog in this game. Not to mention, they’re ranked No. 7 in the country — Ohio State has ranked only three spots ahead of them. It’s a head-scratcher for sure.

It’s not like the Spartans have been blown out of the water this year or anything. In the team’s only loss of the season to a ranked Purdue team, Michigan State lost by 11 points.

Statistically speaking, Ohio State does have the nation’s premier offense, averaging 550 total yards per game. That’s an insanely high amount of yardage, but the Spartan defense will not allow the Buckeyes to get anywhere near their average.

The money line, currently +700 for Michigan State to win, could make for a very bad day for the sportsbooks if the Spartans take care of business in Columbus.

A bad day for the sportsbooks is a great day for bettors, so consider Michigan State when placing any wagers this weekend. It looks like the odds are weighed too heavily in Ohio State’s favor.
