Purdue vs. Michigan State Prediction

I’m on the under here. I know Sparty needs the win to secure bowl eligibility, but I just don’t know if I can trust Michigan State’s offense to do damage, even against this sieve of a Purdue defense. On the other side, Purdue is just awful and it wouldn’t surprise me in the slightest if they struggled here as well. Give me the under.
