Prediction, Game Preview, and Betting Lines for Purdue vs. Michigan State

Michael State has had a good first season under Jonathan Smith, but they are only 4-6 and need to win their next two home games to go bowling. Rutgers is up next.

The Spartans have lost three straight games, but other than their loss to Boston College, all six of those losses are fine. Get these last two wins now.

This is a terrible year for Purdue. It had one great late run in a crazy loss to Illinois, and it was close with Northwestern. But it has not been close with anyone else.

However, this year has been very bad with no wins over FBS teams. A win against Indiana would be the cherry on top of Michigan State’s season.

Why Purdue Will Win

Michigan State is not making baskets.

It is true that it has played a lot of tough teams—the Big Ten has been WARMER—but it is still having a hard time keeping things moving, and turnovers are always a problem.

The offensive line turned the ball over 18 times this year, but there were none against Illinois. Purdue needs to make some breaks.

We need to start passing the ball. It was a good offense in the close losses to Illinois and Northwestern, and it really turned it on against Indiana State. Do your best to throw, stay in it, and…

Why Michigan State Will Win

Oregon, Ohio State, Iowa, Michigan, Indiana, and Illinois. That is Michigan State’s Big Ten run after beating Maryland early on. The team is not scoring a lot of points for a reason.

The Purdue defense is one of the worst in the country at stopping third down plays. They give up 39 points per game, and worst of all, there are no takeaways in this kind of game.

There are times when Michigan State has trouble with turnovers, but Purdue has already forced five takeaways this season. You can keep things simple here and be fine.

Purdue vs Michigan State: Who Will Win?

Ohio State will finally have an easy win.

The offense will be well-balanced, with the running game taking over early on. Aidan Chiles will not take any chances, and the Spartans will take control in the first half, even though Purdue has a good passing day.
