FAU vs. MSU ATS Gambling Stats –><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\nA few years ago Florida Atlantic appeared to be a program that was destined to become a perennial leader in the Sun Belt Conference. The team won a bowl game in both 2007 and 2008, but since then the program has turned south in a hurry. <\/p>\n
Last year\u2019s team went 4-8, and most of the top players from that team graduated. The Owls were thrashed 41-3 by Florida in their season opener last weekend. Graham Wilbert is the team\u2019s starting quarterback, but he is very inexperienced. <\/p>\n
Alfred Morris is a talented runner that the team must get involved as often as possible, but the offensive line is a real problem area. Rob Housler and Lester Jean were both stars in the passing game last year, but both are in the NFL now. The defensive side of the football doesn\u2019t look any better for this squad. <\/p>\n
The team is stacked at the linebacker position, but everywhere else on the field they have question marks. The defense moved to a 3-4 over the offseason primarily because they were struggling badly to find quality defensive linemen. Florida picked up six yards per carry last week, and this run defense will be tested by the Spartans this weekend. <\/p>\n
Expect it to be a long season for the Owls.<\/p>\n
Michigan State wasn\u2019t particularly impressive in their 28-6 victory over Youngstown State last weekend. The Spartans led just 7-6 late in the second quarter, but they did play better in the second half. <\/p>\n
Kirk Cousins was extremely efficient last week in the season opener. Cousins went 18 for 22 passing while throwing for 222 yards. B.J. Cunningham caught nine passes for 130 yards and a touchdown. Edwin Baker, Le\u2019Veon Bell, and Larry Caper are all very talented running backs for Michigan State. [soliloquy id=”82219″]<\/p>\n
The Spartans have as much talent in the backfield as any team in the Big Ten this year. Look for Michigan State to try to pound the football consistently this week. <\/p>\n
The Michigan State defense employed the bend but don\u2019t break philosophy last week against Youngstown State. Greg Jones was the unit\u2019s leader last year, and it wouldn\u2019t surprise me a bit to see a big drop in production from the linebacker position this season. <\/p>\n
Jerrell Worthy is a defensive tackle that all the NFL scouts have their eyes on. Worthy can take over a game at any time, and he does a great job of both rushing the passer and stuffing the run.<\/p>\n
Michigan State is looking to prove that last year\u2019s run was no fluke. Florida Atlantic will likely be at the bottom of the Sun Belt this year. <\/p>\n
I think this one could get ugly pretty quickly. <\/p>\n
I don\u2019t like laying this many points, but I think the Spartans dominate here.<\/p>\n
