The 7-1 Penn State Nittany Lions will visit the 6-2 Michigan State Spartans Saturday afternoon. The Lions won last season's matchup 45-12, and I think we'll see another blowout win for Penn State this year.

There's no doubt that the visitors will be fired up. They had won their first six games of the season prior to a 39-38 setback as a 7-point dog at Ohio state last Saturday. They looked like they had the game wrapped up before getting outscored 19-3 in the fourth quarter, ouch. The Lions are 12-3-1 ATS in their last 16 conference games and 9-1-2 ATS vs. a team with a winning record.

The Spartans took a loss last week as well when they fell 39-31 in triple overtime at Northwestern. They have a terrific D, but they're struggling on the offensive side of the ball averaging just 23.8 ppg. The Nittany Lions had the top scoring defense in the nation before allowing OSU 529 yards last week, but MSU can not put up such numbers.

My selection is an 8* play on Penn State Nittany Lions.
