Rutgers and Michigan State meet today for the ninth time all-time, with the Spartans having won five of eight meetings, including all three as Big Ten foes. The Scarlet Knights enter this game as 14 point underdogs, not having been favored in a conference game this season. They are 6-2 against the spread in Big Ten games, so that should provide some hope. On senior day, Rutgers will look to pull the upset on national television against a team they almost did that to two seasons ago.
To get more insight on the current state of this week’s opponent, I was fortunate to trade questions with McLain Moberg, who writes for SB Nation’s Michigan State site, The Only Colors.
