What we’ve learned through the beginning of the 2020 college football season is that the gap between the haves and the have-nots is just as wide considering how Covid-19 has changed the season. And that’s part of the reason why there are plenty of big spreads on the board this weekend.
The Michigan State Spartans heads to The Empty Big House to face the Michigan Wolverines, and what is a traditional rivalry game isn’t expected to be close. Block M blew out Minnesota last week 49-24, while Michigan State lost by 38-27 at home to Rutgers. These teams have split the last eight games in the series, with the Wolverines winning the last two. That should easily become three on Saturday if the bookmakers are to be believed.
Mike Leach will get the first test of his Air Raid offense against Nick Saban when the Mississippi State Bulldogs face the Alabama Crimson Tide in Tuscaloosa. The bookmakers have the home team laying 32.5, and it will be interesting to see how one of the greatest defensive coaches ever matches up with the vaunted scheme passed down from Hal Mumme to so many coaches across America. Can Clanga find a way to cover?
If you’re looking for something less beatdown, it should be a good one between the Memphis Tigers and #7 Cincinnati Bearcats in UC’s Nippert Stadium. Quarterback Desmond Ridder and Cinci went on the road and got a big 42-13 win over SMU on Saturday, but it was a Mustangs team with some key injuries. Can the defense continue to hold against Brady White and the rest of U of M? The oddsmakers have it within a touchdown as of now.
