#7 Michigan State (6-2, 9-2) at #4 Ohio State (8-0, 10-1) Post Game
« on: November 15, 2021, 03:03:39 AM »
Ohio State opens as 18 point favorites.

I questioned that OSU-Purdue line last week when it opened at 21 I believe it was- but that wound up being more than right...so not sure what to think here.

Definitely think Ohio State wins- but could Sparty do the impossible and upset them in C-bus?

Feels like one of those games where MSU hopes to get some red zones stops and match scores. Sparty is dead last in pass defense, and OSU I hear does ok with the passing. So big key is MSU just staying on schedule and moving the ball. Purdue game would have been a lot closer had they not had those two early turnovers which put them in a huge hole.

I've seen some whopping lines this year I thought were way too high and I think each time the victor has covered.

I thought the Spartans were a paper tiger before Purdue played them, much as I thought Iowa was a paper tiger before facing Purdue. Didn't think the same about OSU. 

I could see it being closer than 18, but OSU is going to win this and it's not going to be in doubt in the 2nd half.

MSU needs a lucky break or two and they need a whale of a game by KW3 to win. Only shot they have.

They got that lucky break on Hutchinson's overturn TD and KW3 went nuts on the ground running wild on Michigan's defense for 2 bills and 5 tubs. 

IF MSU gets that kind of dominant performance from KW3 and a lucky break/turnover/splash ST's play- they've got a shot.

Otherwise- I think you're probably right.

Agreed, MSU needs some big breaks, and a good game from all to be in this.  It can happen, but probably won't.

OSU  45  MSU 27

Every time OSU plays Sparty the week before THE GAME, they don't play very well.

KW3 probably needs more than 200 yards and 4 TDs to make this game close

yeah- and then they go and kick Michigan's ass the week after. 

So I'm hoping OSU absolutely whoops MSU's ass and is feeling themselves going into the game and overlooks Michigan.

Hey, a guy can dream, right?

I for one am furious with the conference for this scheduling and this year is neither the first nor the last time they've put tOSU in a tough game the week before Michigan:
  • 2019: Penn State
  • 2024: Michigan State
  • 2025:  Michigan State, with Penn State the week before that

To me this isn't just about Michigan, it is about a bigger picture of what it takes to win an NC.  Michigan isn't the end of the season followed by a month-long break then ONE game like it used to be.  In a great year now The Game is followed by a tough opponent the next week in Indianapolis then possibly TWO games against Nationally top-4 teams.  If Ohio State goes to the NC in 2025 their last six games will be ridiculously tough:
  • vs Penn State
  • vs Michigan State
  • at Michigan
  • vs B1G-W Champ, Indianapolis
  • vs top-4 CFP semi-final
  • vs top-4 CFPCG
That is insane!

There is a reason why a lot of SEC teams schedule a pastry the week before their rivalry game.  I don't want to see us scheduling FCS but the Conference office should at least put the usual contenders up against lesser B1G teams rather than each other that week.
