T.M. Selection: Michigan State - ATS

1) I like the Spartans to win this game in blowout fashion against the Florida Atlantic Owls on Friday, August 30th. Michigan State definitely out with something to prove this season and they will want to begin their payback tour immediately at home.

2) Well, truth be told, it is absolutely a new era in East Lansing with new head coach Jonathan Smith. He was with Oregon State and the Beavers had incredible ATS runs in home games with him at the helm there. He has the Spartans looking focused and ready coming into this season and I want to cash in on this.

3) Florida Atlantic brought in a transfer QB from Marshall for this season. Fancher is going to take some time to work into the new system here and I was not crazy about him with the Thundering Herd either. This Owls team just does not have enough offense to keep up against a focused Big Ten team in need of a statement win in their home opener.

T.M. Prediction: 34-13 Michigan State.

Line: -12.5
