The wait is over, and Big Ten football is finally back. Michigan State will play host to Rutgers at noon Oct. 24.
The Spartans enter the Mel Tucker era as a double-digit favorite over the Scarlet Knights, providing a perfect opportunity for the new staff to begin the year with a win.
Take a look at our staff picks for the game and all of the other Big Ten action in Week 1.
