Michigan State at California College Football Betting Odds

An interesting Big Ten-Pac Ten college football betting matchup occurs on Saturday evening as Michigan State travels to California to play the Bears. Mark Dantonio has turned things around at Michigan State and the Spartans are looking for a big season. California is trying to figure out why they slumped to a 2-5 finish down the stretch last season. The Spartans have a balanced offense led by QB Brian Hoyer and RB Javon Ringer. Hoyer had a nice season a year ago and Ringer is the game breaker for Michigan State.

The key for Michigan State in this college football betting game could be defensive end Trevor Anderson. If he can disrupt the offensive line of Cal then the Spartans could pull off the upset in college football betting. College football odds at sportsbooks have California as a 4.5 point favorite at home for Saturday's game at 3:30 pm EST on ABC. It won’t be easy though as Cal returns C Alex Mack and LT Mike Tepper. New starting quarterback Kevin Riley will try and lead the Bears to the opening day win. California has young talent but very little experience on offense. Look for RB Jahvid Best and receivers Michael Calvin, Nyan Boateng, and Jeremy Ross to start making their mark in this game.
