ESPN's SP+ predicts final score for Michigan State vs. Ohio State in Week 11

ESPN’s SP+ is predicting the final score for the Week 11 B1G East showdown between Ohio State and Michigan State. The recent history of the series has been dominated by the Buckeyes, and the system does not expect that to change this weekend.

According to the system, Ohio State has a 96% win probability against the Spartans with a projected final score of 38-7. The Buckeyes enter the game as a -30.5 favorite at home, and fans can get in on those odds by using the Caesars Ohio promo code to get started.

Ohio State holds a 7-game winning streak in the head-to-head matchup with Michigan State, including a 49-20 win over the Spartans a season ago. The Buckeyes have scored 49+ in 3 straight meetings with MSU and are riding 6 straight wins by at least 20 points.

Though Ohio State has still struggled with slow starts this season, the Buckeyes have back-to-back wins by double digits since TreVeyon Henderson returned to the lineup. The defense for the Buckeyes is also one of the best in the country and has not given up more than 17 points in a game this season.

On the other hand, Michigan State has struggled mightily despite most recently beating Nebraska in Week 10. We’ll see how Harlon Barnett can rally the Spartans this weekend but it is a major task in Columbus.
