Randy’s Free Pick
Ohio State doesn’t cover numbers and is in rough shape entering this contest. However, Michigan State isn’t lighting the world on fire at the moment either and has to go on the road where it loses by an average of 7.2 points. Something has to give, and we’re only laying a bucket. Have to give OSU the edge at home. Give me the Buckeyes.
