the Spartans vs. the Chippewas updates: Live NCAA Football game scores, results for Friday
Live scores, highlights and updates from the Michigan State vs. Central Michigan football game
The Central Michigan Chippewas will hit the road to start their 2023 campaign against the Michigan State Spartans. Kickoff is scheduled at 7:00 p.m. ET on September 1st at Spartan Stadium.
These teams both struggled last season when it came to snagging interceptions. Central Michigan were ranked 126th in the nation, with four over the course of the season. Michigan State, meanwhile, were ranked 131st with two.
Central Michigan will be fighting an uphill battle on Friday as the experts have pegged them as the 14-point underdog. They finished last season with a mediocre 4-8 record against the spread, so bettors beware.
Central Michigan being the underdog is bad news given the team's less-than-stellar 2-4 record as the underdog last season. While their fans probably aren't happy about it, betting on the team to lose was the smart play last year, and bettors who put $100 on that outcome every game finished the season up $1,533.43. Michigan State will open their season as the favorite, and the team was 3-1 as such last season.
