In case you've been living under a rock, there's a big game on Saturday night in East Lansing. The second leg of a home-and-home series will be completed as Michigan State vs. Boston College will take place at 7:30 p.m. ET on Saturday night.

While this may not be the biggest Big Ten game of the night (that goes to Michigan vs. Oklahoma), it's still one of those must-watch games that will have football fans glued to their screens.

Michigan State has the motivation of wanting revenge over Boston College after a last-minute loss in Chestnut Hill a year ago, while the Eagles are trying to prove that win was no fluke.

Jonathan Smith needs to win this to keep the Michigan State fanbase on his side, while Bill O'Brien is trying to build on a solid year one with Boston College. The storylines are endless, but Michigan State has had this one circled, and it's more than prepared.

What does Vegas think about the Week 2 matchup?

Here are the final Michigan State vs. Boston College odds, via DraftKings.

Line: Michigan State -3.5
Over/Under: 45.5
Moneyline: Michigan State -166 | Boston College +140

The line has moved Boston College's way by a point or two over the past 24 hours, sitting at 3.5 points in favor of Michigan State. The Spartans are also slight moneyline favorites (obviously) with -166 odds to beat Boston College.

Prediction

This has revenge game written all over it, even if the players don't want to admit that it's on their minds. Michigan State is going to come out and let Aidan Chiles sling the ball more than they did against Western Michigan. He's also going to protect the ball much better than he did last season against Boston College. It'll come down to who can dominate the line of scrimmage, and I'm going with Michigan State there, especially after what we saw from both teams in their respective openers.

Prediction: Boston College 20, Michigan State 30
