Michigan State at Washington Betting Odds, Picks and Predictions for Week 3
September 16, 2022
Ryan Wollersheim breaks down the betting odds for Saturday's matchup between Michigan State and Washington in what sets up as one of the best matchups of Week 3 in the college football season.
Past Fantasy Outlooks
2022
2021
Berger showed flashes of potential over four games as a freshman for Wisconsin, averaging 5.0 rushing yards on 60 attempts in 2020. The former four-star looked primed to inherit the job as Wisconsin’s next great running back. Instead, Berger lost the Bagers’ No. 1 running-back job and was dismissed from the program midway through his sophomore season. Therefore, it’s tough to tell just how much to make of Berger’s limited action over seven collegiate games. The best indication of Berger’s possible value will likely come from the summer positional battle between him and fellow transfer-portal addition Jarek Broussard.
Berger opened 2020 behind Nakia Watson but quickly earned a sizable share of the backfield workload. Unfortunately, COVID-19 protocols cost him multiple games, holding the freshman to just 60 carries for 301 yards and a pair of touchdowns. It’s worth noting that Berger appeared to be on a carry count as a freshman, tallying exactly 15 in each of the four games he appeared in. With inexperience surrounding him in the backfield, look for the reins to come off in his second season as part of a Wisconsin offense that typically ranks high on the rush play percentage list.
