Shane’s Free Pick

Michigan State’s defense was lights out in the last game and they have already proven they can slow down the Purdue offense. Look for the lack of scoring by Purude to be the difference as the Spartans are going to keep this game close. I do also think that Michigan State can win this game outright. Back Michigan State against the spread.
