Are Michigan, Ohio State safe from upsets against Penn State, Michigan State?

By Dr. Ed Feng Leave a Comment

Screen Shot 2015-11-20 at 9.50.32 AMOver at the Detroit News, I previewed two critical Big Ten games this weekend: Michigan at Penn State and Michigan State at Ohio State.

Michigan faces a tough battle against a Penn State team with a stellar defense. The Wolverines are favored and my numbers predict a win, but they must play a solid game.

Ohio State catches a break as Michigan State QB Connor Cook hurt his throwing shoulder last week. He’ll play, but it will require an Isiah Thomas in Game 6 of the 1988 NBA Finals type effort to beat Ohio State.
