Michigan State at Minnesota picks and predictions
Prediction
Michigan State 69, Minnesota 61
Moneyline
PASS.
There is minimal value on the Spartans (-210) to win Wednesday.
Against the spread
BET MICHIGAN STATE -4.5 (-120).
Michigan State is looking to make a push into the top-20 rankings after an impressive showing at the Maui Invitational capped off by an upset win over North Carolina. It has covered in 2 of its last 3 games, while 3 of its last 4 wins have come by 8 or more points.
Minnesota has covered the spread in just 1 of its 9 games this season with a 1-6-2 ATS record. It is 0-1-1 in its 2 games as an underdog this season and has a difficult task in taking down the Spartans Wednesday.
Over/Under
LEAN UNDER 131.5 (-115).
The Gophers have hit the Under in 7 of their 9 games this season while scoring 68 or fewer points in 7 of their last 8.
Michigan State has hit the Under in 3 of its last 4 games. It has scored 72 or fewer points in 2 of its last 3 games and held opponents to 72 or fewer in 3 of its last 5.
However, do not wager too much on this line, as 131.5 is a pretty low total, even for teams that traditionally do not score a lot.
