- I like Michigan State's chances of winning this game because of quarterback play. Russell Wilson has proven to be vastly overrated so far. Kirk Cousins is managing MSU's offense well.

- Wisconsin's offense lacks much imagination. State does a better job of spreading the field and coming up with wrinkles that throw a defense off. If the Badgers don't play bash ball, they can't win. The Spartans, although their basic concepts are similar, are more diverse.

- Edge rusher Denicos Allen's quickness a problem for Wisconsin. He has All-Big Ten written all over him.
