This is an 8* play on MICHIGAN STATE

Finally, the two top teams in the Big 10 get a chance to play one another. There's probably an argument to be made that Michigan State would have liked to play this game a little sooner in the season considering some of the attrition suffered on the injury front. But the Spartans keep on winning in spite of those injuries and I think are a great value getting points Sunday in Ann Arbor. Tom Izzo's team certainly hasn't had much difficulty covering the spread this season as their ATS record is a sterling 19-8. They'd covered three straight before getting caught laying 15.5 to Rutgers earlier in the week and they only won by 11. This will be only the third time getting points. While their ATS record as an underdog so far is 0-2 and Michigan is 16-0 SU at home, I still rate the visitors as the better team here. I was quite surprised to see the Wolverines have won the last three games in this rivalry. Not this time. Take the points. Play on MICHIGAN STATE
