The computers anticipate Michigan State will pick up an easy win this week.
Bill Connelly of ESPN posts his weekly predictions based on SP+ — an algorithm to rate teams and project outcomes — and the Michigan State-Prairie View A&M game is shaping up to be a beatdown. SP+ projects Michigan State to beat the Panthers 40-0. At this time, I have yet to find a betting line posted so this is my only indication of how big a spread we could see in this matchup.
Michigan State comes into this home non-conference matchup feeling really good about themselves after picking up a road upset win over Maryland this past weekend. The Spartans are 2-0 overall on the season and 1-0 in conference play.
Prairie View A&M is also coming into this matchup off a victory, topping Northwestern State this past weekend. The Panthers are 1-1 on the year.
Kickoff is scheduled for 3:30 p.m. ET and the game will be televised on the Big Ten Network.
