Western Michigan at Michigan State picks and predictions
Prediction
Michigan State 86, Western Michigan 65
Moneyline
OTB.
Michigan State is such a heavy favorite that there is no ML at BetMGM Sportsbook for this matchup.
Against the spread
BET WESTERN MICHIGAN +27.5 (-115).
Western Michigan has covered 3 straight games as an underdog of 9.5 or more points. Its offense has been operating at a high enough pace that this spread should prove to be too high for Michigan State to cover.
The Spartans have failed to cover 2 straight games as favorites of 17 or more points.
Over/Under
BET OVER 146.5 (-110).
Michigan State has scored 83 or more points in 6 of its last 9 games, while it has allowed 69 or more in 7 of its last 10.
The Broncos have scored 65 or more points in 8 of their last 10 games and will add enough to this total to hit the Over.
