Staff Prediction

Oakland comes into this matchup 2-10 and on a 6-game losing streak. they are one the worst defensive teams in the league statistically. They also struggle against the spread, only going 1-10. Michigan State comes into this one 7-4 and having won 2 of their first 3 games in December. Oakland is not very good, and I expect the Spartans to easily cover the 20.5 points.
