While Ohio State is winning games, they are losing big money in the process. As a matter of fact, few teams have provided so little bet on College Football value lately. Compared to most teams Michigan State is also a poor wager. However, the Spartans have improved their profit margin over the past month. It follows that many gamblers believe Sparty has a legitimate shot at home against the Buckeyes. Of major concern is MSU’s lack of offensive production. Balanced against that is OSU’s less than dominant defense. Because of this the Green and White will rate a look.
