Line Movement: In Vegas, Michigan State opened as a 31.5-point favorite and that’s where the line currently sits. The over/under total opened at 49.5 and jumped up to 50, although at some online books the total is already up 50.5.
Public Betting: Over 50% of college football public bettors currently favor Florida Atlantic in this matchup, which is rather surprising seeing as how the public usually bets the favorite.

College Football Free Pick: Take Florida Atlantic. According to latest college football trends, the Spartans are 1-4 against the spread in their last five non-conference games and 1-4 ATS in their last five games as a favorite of 10.5 points or greater. They’re also 1-4-1 ATS in their last six games following a straight up win of more than 20 points and 2-10TS in their last 12 home games versus a team with a winning record. With all the changes MSU has already made on both sides of the ball, the Spartans may struggle again to blow out an overmatched opponent.
