The last time I provided a metrics and odds update for Michigan State and the Big Ten, the situation was much different. The Spartans were undefeated and in the top-five. The Big Ten campaign was about to start and many prognosticators were starting to predict that Michigan State might just win a fourth consecutive Big Ten regular season title.
But, Michigan State took a trip to Evanston, Illinois and came back with an “L.” Then, the Spartans’ Christmas Day house guest left MSU fans feeling blue. Now, MSU is 0-2 to start Big Ten play. How bad is it?
