Why Bet on Michigan State?

Why should you bet on Michigan State in Week 2? Because they put 38 points on the board and should be far more focused than they were in their opener. The 11th ranked Spartans put 38 points on the board, but they nearly lost to unheralded Utah State in their 38-31 Week 1 win while never coming close to covering the chalk as a 23.5-point home favorite. Michigan trailed by a 31-30 margin after a Utah State touchdown that came with 5:05 remaining, but they managed to pull out the win by putting together a 9 play, 75-yard drive that ended with Connor Heyward’s 13-yard touchdown run with two minutes remaining. The Spartans added a two-point conversion just in case the Aggies managed to concoct another touchdown drive. Quarterback Brian Lewerke completed 23 of 33 passes for 287 yards with two touchdowns and one interception and Michigan State got a pair of rushing scores from Heyward in the win. Defensively, Michigan State picked off two passes in the win but lost one fumble.

Why Bet On Arizona State?

Why should you bet on Arizona State in Week 2? Because the Sun Devils looked terrific in their opener and Herm Edwards is a no-nonsense guy that his players will respect. The Sun Devils pounded the UT-San Antonio Roadrunners, 49-7 last weekend as quarterback Manny Wilkins completed 16 of 24 passes for 237 yards and four touchdowns to lead the way to victory. Michigan State vs Arizona State is one of the best games in NCAA Football Week 2. Wide receiver N’Keal Harry had a monster game with six catches for 140 yards and two scores. Running back Eno Benjamin added 131 rushing yards and one touchdown on 16 carries.

Expert Analysis and Prediction

I’m going to get right to the point by saying that I smell an upset brewing. Michigan State looked awful in their opener and if they play like that again, they’ll get beat. Guess what? They’re going to play like that again and lose to the Sun Devils! I know the Spartans are an elite team with legitimate four-team CFP hopes, that has gone 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games following an ATS loss. However, the Spartans are also just 4-9 ATS in their last 13 non-conference games while Arizona State has gone 8-3 ATS in their last 11 games overall. I’m going with Herm Edwards for the upset! Score: Michigan State 27 – Arizona State 35
