There is not a better football betting expert than Grandmaster sports handicapper Joe Duffy of GodsTips, anchor of OffshoreInsiders.com. He has a free pick, which is also a premium pick. It’s to go with Michigan State -3.5 against Illinois. Odds are courtesy of BetUs Sportsbook

Here is why:  

Let’s face it, Ron Zook can’t coach. When Rashard Mendenhall was taking handoffs, the Illini could put out a competitive team, but this team is the dregs of the Big 10. Now one of the few playmakers they have Juice Williams has been benched.

The Spartans found their spark in the 26-20 win over Michigan behind the quarterback tandem of Keith Nichol and Kirk Cousins.

MSU is better than their record getting 8.5 passing yards per attempt against teams normally allowing 7.7 and 6.3 yards per play to 5.7. Defensively they allow just 2.8 yards per rush to teams normally getting 4.2 and 5.0 yards per play to 5.5.

Not only is Illinois below average on offense, but even worse defensively allowing 5.1 yards per rush to teams normally getting 4.0 and 7.5 yards per pass to 7.1.

MSU is better on both sides of the ball, better coached and off a win that will turn around their season.

It’s revenge by a team more than capable of getting it. Illinois‘ win at Michigan State snapped a nine-game losing streak to the Spartans and a 10-game Big Ten losing streak. Yet Illinois hasn’t defeated the Spartans in Memorial Stadium since 1992.

Even Illinois State threw for 398 yards against this terrible defense. With Zook panicking and benching his best weapon, we see a reeling squad. MSU wins by at least 10.  Again it’s Michigan State.
