Purdue Boilermakers and Michigan State Spartans Face Off in Crucial Big Ten Matchup
The Purdue Boilermakers (1-9, 0-7 Big Ten) and Michigan State Spartans (4-6, 2-5 Big Ten) will clash on Friday night at Spartan Stadium in East Lansing, Mich. Both teams are looking to snap losing streaks, with the Boilermakers having dropped nine consecutive games and the Spartans three in a row.
The Spartans need a win against Purdue and Rutgers to become bowl eligible for the first time since 2021. Michigan State holds a 36-29-3 edge in the all-time series, but Purdue won the last meeting 40-29 in 2021.
The game's outcome is uncertain, with SportsLine's model projecting a close contest. The model leans towards an Under on the total, predicting 44 combined points, and suggests one side of the spread will hit well over 60% of the time.
