The Michigan State Spartans welcome in the Eastern Michigan Eagles in college football action Saturday. The game is scheduled for a noon start time and it will be televised live on the Big Ten Network. Currently the odds for the game have Michigan State as a huge favorite in this one.
Michigan State is a huge favorite in this game, which should come as no surprise. The Spartans are one of the best 1-loss teams in the country and should be the best team in the Big Ten this season. But in this one the main goals for Michigan State have to be about staying healthy, improving as much as possible and working on the offense.
They're laying more than six touchdowns in this game and the total hasn't been released yet by a book, but with such a high point spread, don't expect the total to be much higher. Eastern Michigan is going to struggle scoring any points in this one.
The Eagles are just 1-2 on the season and lost 17-3 last week on the road at Old Dominion, coming off a 65-0 loss inside The Swamp down in Florida. Nothing like getting out-scored 82-3 in back-to-back games and then having to play the Spartans, which is also Eastern's third straight road game.
The Spartans will host Wyoming next week, so there won't be a look-ahead situation in this game. Michigan State should have no problems moving the football against an Eagles team that gave up 479 total yards to Morgan State in the opener, 655 to Florida and 367 last week to Old Dominion — that's an average of more than 500 yards of offense to opponents this season.
Michigan State will be able to name the score in this one, and if Eastern Michigan can score at all it will be a positive.
