First I'm from the Midwest and loved the way Sparty brought it last year, but this isn't the rose bowl and it isn't Stanford trying to overpowering them. I give Sparty big props for going on the road to play a top 5 team unlike some other big ten teams. Oregon at home game 2 being pretty healthy and super fast should win by 20!!! Now I could be wrong but I'm betting the 13 now and say about 9:15 either I cash or crash and burn, lol. Good luck guys!!!

Just as Stanford dominates Oregon every year, so should MSU dominate them in this matchup.  Oregon will be extremely fortunate to win, much less cover 2 TDs.

Well, the spread only factored into 15% of this past weekend's games.

No, the Cardinal don't dominate Oregon every year.  However, when they have played dominating games, they do with a stout D and bruising running game.  That's what gives Oregon fits.  I am not sold on Oregon's current crop of RBs or head coach.   The Spartans should be able to implement that physical style of play for an easy cover.

And what does Michigan State have?  A stout D and a bruising running game.  Michigan State is a Stanford clone, and the results should be similar.

On the bright side, poor African kids will be receiving their "We Want Bama" t-shirts early this season.

Stanford dominates Oregon "every year" ? 

Talk about hyperbole.

Stanford has won the last two games, but Oregon won the two before that, so they've split the last 4. Look at margin of victory:

Two games Stanford won by a combined 9 points.

Two games Oregon won by a combined 44 points.

Gotta look it up, but I think 44 is bigger than 9. Not sure though.

No personal bias there right?

I don't trust Helfrich. I do trust Dantonio....After what I saw from these teams last year, I think MSU is mentally a much stronger team. Probably physically too...

What people forget is when Stanford plays Oregon, game 8 or 9, not game 2 when Oregon has fresh legs and haven't been beat on yet.

A wildcard for me in this game is Autzen... the loudest stadium I know of. MSU will have tough time making audibles at the LOS, not to mention that the OL will have to go on ball movement, not on the snap count, which they will not hear. That is a BIG disadvantage for an OL.

Most of you probably didn't see Cooks knee buckle last game.  He did continue to play.   But it didn't look good at all.

Everybody calls that hit a cheap shot, but after watching the video I don't think it was. DB put his head down before Cook began to throw. Hit his plant leg. MSU has QB's wear knee brace for extra protection. It worked here!

The game time temp of 93F and 35% humidity is biggest concern. Reported MSU practicing indoors with heat turned up. Injury reports for both teams not being reported. Think best to wait until game day.

Expect MSU WR Lippett to have big day. Plays above everyone! MSU weakest link maybe O-line. Every once in awhile Cook will throw a horrible pass, can't do that here.

MSU D needs 3-&-outs a few times to stay fresh.

Until the MSU D shows a weakness, I will take the points.

All valid points uniman, I might question Spartys secondary though, very tough to replace Dennard and a solid safety!!!

Home field means something here and Oregon has a vastly superior QB along with skilled position players. Be very careful pulling the trigger on Sparty.

Oregon is soft, Michigan State is tough. We want Bama t-shirt smack.
