Nebraska vs. Michigan St Pick Prediction 9/25/2021 by Tony T.
Nebraska vs. Michigan St—Free pick is Michigan St Spartans -5. Good start of the season for the Spartans as they sit at 3-0. They have wins on the road to Northwestern by 17 and last week a 38-17 win at Miami. Spartans offense producing 520 yards. Their run game has sputtered the past several seasons. This year the run game is working at Michigan St as the team rushed for 263 yards with 6.8 yards per run. Quarterback Payton Thorne is completing 62.3% of his throws as the passing game generates 9 yards per rush. Nebraska has lost both of their road games on the campaign. Losses came to Oklahoma by seven and Illinois by 8. Spartans are defending the run well holding opponents to 3.1 per rush. Cornhuskers have averaged 19 points per game in their road games. Adrian Martinez has struggled turning the ball over in his time with Nebraska. This is by far the toughest defense that Nebraska has faced. Their road form puts me on the home team here. Play Michigan St -5.
