Central Michigan Chippewas vs. Michigan State Spartans Betting Analysis

The Michigan State Spartans are looking to bring back several of their playmakers from a season ago. The Spartans under Mel Tucker hope that means every one of them has improved their play.

Noah Kim will get the nod at quarterback, while Jalen Berger will be the starting running back. The receiving core of Montorie Foster Jr., Christian Fitzpatrick, and Tre Mosley should be able to catch the ball down the field for Kim.

The Spartans struggled on the offensive side, running and catching under Payton Throne a season ago. Berger, though, was the top running back, with over 680 yards on the ground.

Michigan State Spartans games this season will be missing the receiving yards and touchdowns from the top two a season ago in Keon Coleman and Jayden Reed.

Offensive Challenges

Jim McElwain and his Chippewas struggled on the offensive side a season ago. The Central Michigan Chippewas stats showed 24.8 points per game, 90th in all of College Football. The passing game was the biggest issue, with just over 200 yards per game, 96th in the nation.

The quarterback, Daniel Richardson, is gone, and it will be redshirt sophomore Jase Bauer. Also gone will be leading running back Lew Nicholes and top receiver Carlos Carriere.

So, the Chippewas will have a new look. They seem to be aiming toward Myles BJalen McGaugy and Irone Jackson as the lead receivers.
