Penn State vs. Michigan State Expert Betting Predictions

To be fair, Michigan State’s stats averages in points allowed, and total yards took a huge hit in Week 12’s 56-7 loss to Ohio State. Before the Ohio State game, MSU’s average points allowed was less. But just becuase Sparty played better before suffering the blowout loss, it doesn’t mean they’ll return to playing better versus Penn State. The truth about this game is that Penn State is the better team.

The Nittany Lions had a 17-10 lead at halftime in the 23-20 loss to Iowa. The second loss happened in overtime versus Illinois, a team the Lions overlooked because the week after, they faced Ohio State. Penn State played the Buckeyes tough, falling by 9, 24-33, as a +18.5 underdog. Anyway we look at it, the Nittany Lions have advantages in this game.

Lions’ coach James Franklin signed a 10-year contract to stay in Happy Valley. One of the reasons Penn State handed Franklin the contract is because he was on the short list of candidates to take over the head coaching job at LSU. Franklin has the overall better team and motivation to show he’s worth the contract. Expect the Lions to beat Michigan State on Saturday.
