Free Play from Doc’s Sports: Take #387 Michigan State Spartans over UCLA Bruins (3:30 p.m., Saturday, October 24, CBS)

UCLA has been a pleasant surprise in the Big Ten this season, standing as the only unbeaten team in either the Big Ten or SEC. Still, this is a hefty number to lay with a backup quarterback. The Bruins were one-dimensional against Wisconsin, and I expect Michigan State to make running the football difficult again.

The Spartans are rebuilding under a new coach, but they’ve shown they can compete, taking Illinois and Northwestern down to the wire. I expect another competitive effort here, with Michigan State keeping the final margin within 7–10 points.

My selection is on Dallas over Boston at 8:05 pm et on Tuesday.

The Bruins are off to a 3-0 start on their current road trip after cruising to a 4-1 win over the Kings on Saturday. Now they come off a two-day layoff and I look for their winning streak to be stopped by the Stars. Dallas has gotten off to a fairly slow start at 4-3-1. It has reeled off consecutive victories, however, including a dominant 4-0 win in Chicago on Saurday. Of note, the home team has taken three straight meetings in this series including Dallas home victories by scores of 7-2 and 6-2. While Boston will have one eye on an off day on Wednesday as it returns home to host Nashville on Thursday, Dallas will be opening a six-game homestand. Take Dallas (8*).
