Game is a virtual pick em. MSU went from a playoff contender to not favored to win at home vs 4 loss team. I guess the comparative eye test vs Ohio St tells it all.

FPI is a quantitative metric and has nothing to do with the eye test.

Maybe you are referring to the Vegas line? I would actually argue that isn't really a "pick em" in the truest sense in that if the game is EVEN at MSU (I've seen PSU -1 and PSU +1) then it would be PSU -3 at a neutral site and PSU -6 at PSU.

MSU has one good win (Michigan). They also squeaked by Nebraska and Indiana and gave up 31 points to WKU. And got worked by Purdue and OSU.

I think PSU is probably the better team, but we will see on on Saturday.
 
Penn State is the better team. But which PSU team will show up? Hopefully the one that has shown up at Wiscy, Iowa, O$U, and Md this year. They’ve played well on the road and struggled at home this year playing pretty much uninspired football other than the white out game.
