And continue reading to get our pick for Michigan State vs Illinois in the Big Ten.

Michigan State Offense Sputtering In Big Ten

The Michigan State Spartans have lost two games in a row and four of their last five. Their offense has held them back in a significant way during Big Ten play this season, as they have failed to reach 20 points in all four of their conference losses this season. Here, they will look to get above the 20-point mark and give themselves a chance to win, but that will be easier said than done given how bad their passing game has been this year.

Can Illinois Snap Two-Game Losing Streak?

After a 3-1 start in Big Ten play, the Illinois Fighting Illini have dropped two games in a row to fall to 3-3 in league play for the season. The Illini have also been struggling on offense of late, averaging just 13 points per game in their last two games against Minnesota and Oregon. While there is no shame in losing to number-one Oregon, their performance against Minnesota last time out was concerning, especially on offense.

Michigan State vs Illinois Best Bet

Neither of these teams is doing much to inspire confidence going into Saturday’s Michigan State vs Illinois matchup. Instead of taking a side to cover the number in this game, we will take the under. Both teams should get plenty of stops against struggling offenses in this one in what should be a snoozer from Champaign.
