We feel like Michigan State has the tools to perhaps make a deeper run than Michigan come the NCAA tournament, but the Wolverines have arguably had the slightly better regular season up to this point. Michigan State has been up and down over the past month, but the Spartans have been trending up winning their last 4 games in a row. The Spartans have one of the highest offensive ceilings in the Big Ten averaging 80.2 points per game while giving up 65.6.

I know how tough Michigan is and they are highly rated in my power rankings, but Tom Izzos squad, despite of injuries are no pushovers, and ready to upend their rivals here on a line that should be closer to -1.5 for home team. thus giving us value with Michigan State +4.5 here on Sunday evening.
