[ad-6571516]<\/p>\n<h3>Michigan State<\/h3>\n<p>The Michigan State formula is not all that different than Wisconsin\u2019s they just have a higher level of overall talent. \u00a0As such it was no surprise that the last game between these two came down to the wire. \u00a0One of these two teams will be in second place (possibly tied) after this contest and the smart play is that MSU will emerge victorious.<\/p>\n<p>The Spartans have lost three in a row though, all to ranked teams.<\/p>\n<p>Against Wisconsin the last time the backcourt duo of Luke Appling and Brandon Dawson scored 37 of the team\u2019s 49 points. \u00a0If you look even more closely you will see that only 4 points were scored by frontcourt players which is especially surprising because the duo of Adrien Payne and Derrick NIx have been really strong as of late.<\/p>\n<p>To win again more easily they should look to establish these players as they have a significant advantage.<\/p>\n<p>These are two tough teams. \u00a0It is hard not to like the Spartans at home with a number they can cover over just a couple of possession.<\/p>\n<p>They were the underdogs when these teams met in Madison, winning and covering at +2.<\/p>\n<p>Now the pendulum has swung the other way 6 points but they are still a good value play.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Spread Pick: \u00a0Michigan State -4<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong> O\/U Pick; \u00a0Over<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong> Score Prediction: \u00a0Michigan State 69 &#8211; Wisconsin 62<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Badgers vs Spartans CBB Basketball Spread\/Handicapping The Badgers have to be the team that nobody wants to play.
