In this article, we will formulate a Michigan State vs Rutgers Prediction for this College Football Week 14 game on Saturday, November 30th, at Spartan Stadium.  Let’s take a look at a Michigan State Spartans vs Rutgers Scarlet Knights pick.

How Does Rutgers Bounce Back?

Rutgers looked like they were going to beat Illinois in the last game, but a bad timeout by Greg Schiano was the difference. Instead of trying a long field goal, Illinois decided to go for a touchdown, and they ended up losing by seven. Even though they lost. Rutgers offense scored 31 points and they are going to need the offense to be good again. Athan Kaliakamanis completed 18 of his 26 passes for 174 yards, two touchdowns, and zero interceptions. Rutgers on the season is averaging 26.7 points while their defense is giving up 24.7 points per game. The offense is ranked 80th in the league while the defense is ranked 68th. 


Can Michigan State Become Bowl Eligible?

Michigan State knows if they win this game, they will become bowl-eligible, but if they lose this game, it will be all over. In the last game against Purdue, it wasn’t the prettiest game but they were able to secure the 24-17 victory. Aidan Chiles had a strong game putting up completing 15 of his 31 passes for 159 yards and two touchdowns. Kay’ron Lynch Adams had a strong game putting up 18 carries for 85 yards. Michigan State is averaging 19.8 points while their defense is giving up 24.7 points per game. The offense is ranked 121st while while the defense is ranked 68th. 

Michigan State vs Rutgers Prediction

There are better games to bet on the board, but if you want to bet on this game, the only way to bet is to take the points with the underdogs. Kaliakamanis sure looked good in the last game against Illinois, and Rutgers’s offense is going to find success here. Michigan State’s offense is going to have no answer, and it’s going to be Rutgers that is going to come out on top. Back Rutgers against the spread here.
