MSU football shouldn’t have any issue defeating Bowling Green in the Spartans’ season opener on Saturday, according to Bovada.

The Spartans opened up as a 19 and a half point favorite over the Falcons, but the sportsbook slimmed MSU’s odds to win to 17 on Sunday night, with the over-under currently set at 56 points.

MSU went 4-8 against the spread in 2016, including a 3-4 home record against the spread, while the Falcons, who finished with a 4-8 record last season, logged a 4-8 record against the spread in 2016.

The Falcons won their last three games last season en route to finishing third in the Mid-American Conference East Division with a 3-5 conference record, and the Spartans won just one conference game, finishing sixth in the Big Ten East.
