From a respected oddsmaker...Wisconsin over MICHIGAN STATE by 3 We’re not sure whose fall from grace this season has been more shocking, the Oklahoma Sooners or the Spartans. MSU has not led for a single second against a Power 5 opponent thus far this season and they’ve lost their last four games to those opponents by an average of 20.3 points. They’ve also been shut out in seven of 16 quarters against Power 5 competition. Still, head coach Mel Tucker is 7-4 ATS as a home dog, including 6-2 ATS versus foes coming off a SUATS win. On the fl ip side, the Badgers pounded Northwestern, 42-7, in Jim Leonhard’s fi rst game, a major fi rst step towards earning the interim coach a permanent job. He’ll need to make sure his troops don’t stub their toe against a team that appears to have jumped out of a sky-diving airplane without a chute. Bucky beat the Spartans, 38- 0, in their last meeting in 2019 but are just 1-5 ATS as a road favorite in this series when coming off a win. Be careful here.
