Spartan Stadium, East Lansing, MI
TV: Fox Sports 1 (FS1)

Sagarin Ratings: MSU #79, Rutgers #59
Line Outta Vegas: MSU FAVORED by 2
The ES has been on a sabbatical the past few weeks and just getting caught up. Hope you all had a good Turkey Day. Go LIONS.
Yes, that’s right, MSU is actually favored by 2 points in this game. It’s basically a dead heat of two Big Ten bottom-feeders. If MSU wins or loses, it will likely stay home. With a win, MSU is “bowl-eligible” and probably goes to the GameAbove Sports Bowl on December 26 against a MAC team. They get another 20 days of practice, which they need. They should practice in the snow all the way to Christmas.
Here’s a statistical matchup:

ES likely not going to the game today… why? This Spartan team just isn’t inspiring and makes far too many turnovers. It’s a frustrating team to freeze and watch, let alone watch on tv with good weather indoors.
Prediction:
ES sez: Let's Go to Detroit! MSU 24, Rutgers 23.
