No. 3 Michigan State (8-0) has the eyes of the College Football world after their big 37-33 at home over No. 7 Michigan as they will take on a dangerous Purdue Boilermaker (5-3) on the road.

According to FanDuel, Michigan State comes into this game as a 2.5-point favorite over Purdue.

Michigan State will be without five of their impact players on the offensive side of the ball. Junior wide receiver Jalen Nailor, junior left tackle Jarrett Taylor, junior tight Trenton Gillison, junior tight end Parks Gissinger, and freshman wide receiver Ian Stewart.

Nailor is second on the team in receptions (31) and receiving yards (587) while leading the team in receiving touchdowns (6). Michigan State will turn to junior Dan VanOpstall as their starting left tackle with Taylor out.
