Just a couple dollars
Ideally, Sparty could still cover, but blow the straight up win thanks to a Dantonio gaffe. That's win/win all around.
But, hey, if Spartina is going to overachieve, I'd rather win a buck or two.....it's a whole lot better than waking up in Ohio after a buckeye win in the Rose Bowl after having bet Oregon
Brutal
Anyway, plenty of time for Tech to still blow them out. We'll see if MSU has four quarters in them.
