The Iceman's Free Pick
(NCAAF) Ohio State vs. Michigan State, 11/19/2016 7:00 AM, Score: 17 - 16
Point Spread: 22.50 | -110.00 Michigan State (Home)
Result: Win
This is a Free #NCAAF play on the Michigan State #Spartans.

The Spartans have been a major disappointment in the BIG10 this season, but it seems a little out of line to make the Buckeyes a 22.5 point favorite at East Lansing. Ohio Sate is coming off a blowout win at Maryland, but had failed to cover in their previous two road games. They lost to Penn State at Happy Valley, and barely escaped with a 30-23 win over the Badgers in Madison. These two conference rivals have been involved in some good games over the last five seasons. Michigan State won and covered in three of those games, and all five games were decided by less than two TDs. Michigan State put up a good fight in a 32-23 home loss to #2 ranked Michigan a few weeks ago, and last week they pitched a shutout in a blowout win over Rutgers. L.J Scott ran for 122 yards and a TD on 20 carries last week, and he's totaled over 120 yards in three of his last four games. Both teams could be forced to lean on the run this week, with the weather forecast calling for heavy rain and wind on Saturday. The underdog is 5-0 ATS in the last five meetings between these two teams, and I'll take the points here in this one.

Take MSU.
