Why Michigan State can cover
The Spartans have far more on the line in this late-season matchup. With wins over Purdue and Rutgers in their season finale, they can qualify for a bowl game in head coach Jonathan Smith's first year on the job. For a program going through a rebuild with a young quarterback, the extra bowl game practices could prove to be priceless.
Sophomore Aidan Chiles is extremely talented and has the skill set to be an upper-echelon Big Ten quarterback. Chiles, who followed Smith from Oregon State, is coming off his best game in a Spartans uniform. Against a strong Illinois defense, Chiles threw for 256 yards and two touchdowns, while rushing for 40 yards on 12 carries. See which team to pick here.
Why Purdue can cover
The Boilermakers have a chance to play the role of spoilers against Michigan State. With a win on Friday night, Purdue would eliminate the Spartans from postseason contention. A victory in East Lansing would also send Purdue into the offseason with a renewed sense of optimism.
Not a lot has gone well for Purdue this season, but a couple of bright spots have been running back Devin Mockobee and tight end Max Klare. Mockobee has rushed for 652 yards and three touchdowns on 115 carries. Klare enters Friday with 39 catches for 566 yards and three scores. See which team to pick here.
