The beleagured Michigan State program got a much-needed win on Saturday as the Spartans downed Nebraska 20-17 as a three-point underdog. Katin Houser threw for 165 yards and a TD, and finished with a 116.0 QB rating, and Montorie Foster Jr. caught four passes for 94 yards for the Spartans, who outgained the Cornhuskers 295-283. It's exactly what the Spartans needed coming into Columbus to play mighty Ohio State, which is laying huge points despite not covering its past two games. The Buckeyes did not get the money as a 14.5-point favorite against Wisconsin and pushed last week while defeating Rutgers 35-16. Ohio State is just 4-4-1 ATs in 2023, which is the same as the Spartans. Ohio State is favored by 31.5 points, but they average only 32.8 points per game. Take Michigan State as a Max Play.

Pro Picks
Ohio State at Michigan State
Ohio State hasn't played since its hard-fought 42-35 win over Indiana due to last week's canceled game against Illinois, and the Buckeyes won't hold anything back this week in their quest for a playoff spot. The Buckeyes are #7 in the country in yards gained (535 per game) and average 45.3 points and they're up against Michigan State, which is #44 in yards allowed while giving up 31.0 points per game. The Spartans did get a win over Northwestern last week to improve to 2-3 on the season, but that followed two blowout losses to Iowa and Indiana. The Spartans' only other victory was against Michigan, which is only 2-4 this year. Michigan State blew a 17-0 lead against the Wildcats, who had three fourth-quarter turnovers. Ohio State is led by Justin Fields, who has thrown for 1,208 yards and 13 touchdown passes with only three interceptions and a 79.6 completion rate. The Buckeyes have covered five of their last seven road games and 11 of their last 16 conference games. Also, OSU is 6-2 ATS the last eight meetings with Michigan State. The Spartans are 6-16 ATS their last 22 games overall. Take Ohio State as a Max Play.
