Before you make any Michigan State vs. Washington picks and college football predictions, you NEED to see the predictions from the SportsLine Projection Model.
The SportsLine Projection Model simulates every FBS college football game 10,000 times. Over the past six-plus years, the proprietary computer model has generated a stunning profit of almost $3,400 for $100 players on its top-rated college football picks against the spread. It enters Week 3 of the 2022 college football season on a 50-41 run on all top-rated college football spread and money-line picks that dates back to 2021. Anyone who has followed it has seen HUGE returns!
The model knows Michigan State is led by redshirt sophomore running back Jalen Berger, a Wisconsin transfer. Berger rushed for a career-high 120 yards and one touchdown in his Spartan debut against Western Michigan, and followed that effort with a career-high three touchdowns and 107 yards vs. Akron. Berger is tied for second in the Big Ten and third in the FBS in rushing touchdowns with four and is fifth in the conference and 11th in the FBS in rushing at 113.5 yards per game. In two years at Wisconsin, Berger rushed 84 times for 389 yards (4.6 average) and three touchdowns.
The model also knows Washington's offense will be led by former Indiana quarterback Michael Penix Jr., who transferred to Washington this past spring. In two games this year, Penix has completed 46 of 66 passes (69.7 percent) for 682 yards and six touchdowns. He has been picked off once and has a 183.5 rating. In parts of five seasons, he has completed 60.4% of his throws and has thrown for 4,879 yards and 35 touchdowns against 16 interceptions.
