The Pick
Michigan State -23
Michigan State might be missing star RB Kenneth Walker III this year, but Mel Tucker added two exciting new prospects at the position from the transfer portal, and they’ll have the chance to prove themselves in front of a home crowd this Friday. MSU had several major wins last year, and they should be able to carry that momentum into this season with a returning QB.
