Michigan State will have to replace Kenneth Walker’s production from the running back spot last season, so look for both Jordon Simmons and Elijah Collins to get chances at the starting gig. Quarterback Payton Thorne will likely have to make more plays for the Spartans to be Big Ten contenders this season.
The Spartans are 23-point favorites per DraftKings Sportsbook, with the total set at 54.5.
