Michigan State Spartans vs #11 Penn State Nittany Lions. The NCAAF pick for this game is the #11 Penn State Nittany Lions.

 

Even though Michigan State won three straight, their bowl dreams took a hit when they lost to Indiana at home.

 

Mel Tucker’s team must be feeling the pain of missing two field goals of less than 30 yards with the game on the line, and now they must travel to Happy Valley to play a Penn State club that destroyed their last three opponents.

 

After early-season defeats to Michigan and Ohio State, the Nittany Lions recovered and came into this game with five straight victories over the spread.

 

Penn State’s run game was successful with Singleton and Allen, while the aerial assault was successful when necessary.

 

The Spartans are outmatched on both sides of the ball and have a poor road record this year, going just 1-3 straight up and ATS.

 

Pick Penn State at home because they will win handily. The #11 Penn State Nittany Lions will win to a predicted score of 35-21.
