Mich. St +8

Mich. St +8 Wanted to get peoples' thoughts. Obviously not the ideal number to grab the Red Raiders, and with half the Spartan team serving suspensions, many bettors will be salivating to grab the team that can put up a 60 spot. We've seen this scenario many times in sports--a team enters a game severely short handed but plays its ass off, while the opposing squad takes them lightly. D'Antonio has been rock-solid in bowl games as a coach. This game is in Texas, so advantage Red Raiders. While they've posted some impressive wins, they've definitely had their fair share of stinkers. Right now I'm leaning MSU quite heavy, wanted to get the board's thoughts. Thanks in advance.

Fast track favors Texas Tech. Texas Tech's defense is underrated. The Big 10 was garabage this year. It's either Tech or stay off the game for me.

TT no longer has the powerful 50 point offense. The long layoff can hurt the timing patterns they run and they dont have a very good QB. i think it all comes down to coaching and motivation.
