Michigan State is really struggling right now and will be on the road to face a tough Ohio State team. Ohio State has lost two games in a row to lesser opponents, but it will be tough for Sparty to pull out a win in this game. The last two games Michigan State has played on the road have ended in a 17 point loss and 26 point loss. I like Ohio State here.
