Michigan State vs Boston College Prediction
Michigan State comes into this game looking for their fourth win in a row to start the season and they have played much better than I thought they would early in the season. The Spartans already have a road win against Maryland, but they will be tested against this dual-threat QB for Boston College. The Eagles played ok in their loss to Missouri last week, but they blew an early 14-3 lead in the game. This should be a very entertaining game to watch, but I think Chiles and the MSU offense can keep them in this game, so give me MSU with the points.
David’s Pick Michigan State +6.5
