For the Move
- Rutgers Football is 5-0-1 Against the Spread so far in 2023 and 4-0 at home in terms of win-loss
- Scarlet Knights are giving up 14.7 points/game while MSU is giving up 23.8 points/game
- Spartan QB Noah Kim has 6 interceptions and 1 touchdown in his last 3 games
- Michigan St. averages twice as many penalties per game as Rutgers
Look for Rutgers to run the ball to gain an advantage while using its 3rd ranked passing defense in the Big 10 (behind only Michigan and Penn State) to nullify the Spartan passing game. The Scarlet Knights are averaging over 170 yards rushing per game on the ground.
Against the Move
- Michigan State is third in the Big Ten in passing averaging over 250 yards/game
- Spartans are coming off a bye week with extra time to prepare for Rutgers
Michigan State football trails Rutgers in most statistical categories and will be relying on the bye week to get an advantage from a preparation standpoint. Spartan interim coach Harlon Barnett has also been coy with the media about who will be starting at QB to provide a bit of a smokescreen.
