Today's release features the first College GOY for the 2012 football season. After scouring the lines for this week's picks, we stumbled upon an absolute "cant miss play". Luckily for our loyal fanbase, this is a primetime game, therefore no one will be required to search the internet in an attempt to monitor the outcome.
Michigan State -5 over Notre Dame. While the Spartans of Michigan State have routinely underachieved in years past, I fervently believe that the Spartans finally possess a defense worthy of the lofty praise that they have been receiving during this off season. Furthermore, under their current head coach, the Spartans have shown the ability to come up big against top teams, most notably Wisconsin in last years thriller. While Michigan State is nowhere near the elite of college football, specifically Alabama, LSU, or USC, they are still a formidable squad.
Notre Dame has made progress under Brian Kelly, however this team is a work in progress. With a lack of elite talent on the defensive side of the ball, I expect Michigan State to take advantage and exploit any weakness they find. According to Propick's proprietary model, the Spartans should be an 8 point favorite and this does not include the situational edge which also favors them. As a result of Notre Dame having a built in premium (reputation), this really sets up nicely for our release..
