Michigan State vs Minnesota Pick Tonight
Michigan State -8.5, -108 at FanDuel
The 10th-ranked Spartans are 7-2 SU and 5-3-1 ATS in their last nine games, according to our college basketball betting database. Michigan State has covered as many as 18.5 points and as few as 3.5 during that stretch. The closest spread to this game's came when the Spartans were 6.5-point favorites, and Michigan State won that contest 81-60. By comparison, Minnesota is 3-7 SU and 4-5-1 ATS in its last 10, per our database. That includes a 2-4-1 ATS mark during the team's seven-game losing streak.
Things only look better for the Spartans when we explore how both teams have fared in scoring this season. Michigan State's offense (123rd, 79.1 PPG) is averaging 7.3 more points per game than the Golden Gophers (288th, 71.8 PPG) are. Things don't get much better on defense, as the Spartans rank 12th in the nation, allowing just 64.4 points per contest. Minnesota's defense is 61st, giving up 68.8 per game. Michigan State ranks better in both categories and clearly owns the momentum advantage, so it's difficult to envision Minnesota keeping this one close enough to cover.
While it seems unlikely that the Golden Gophers cover, forward Cade Tyson (scoring prop: 14.5 points) will need to be kept in check. The 6-foot-7, 200-pounder is the top scorer for either side in this matchup. Tyson is averaging 19.9 points per game with an effective field goal rate of 58.1%. However, the Spartans rank 16th in the nation with an opponent effective field goal rate of 46.1% (Minnesota: 117th).
Be sure to check your sportsbook before placing this bet. Different books may have Michigan State -8.5 at -110 rather than -108, or have a different spread number.
Michigan State Vs Minnesota Prop Pick Tonight
Michigan State To Win & Jeremy Fears Jr. 15+ Points, +100 at FanDuel
This market is similar to a parlay, but you can find it as just one wager on FanDuel. I like the Spartans to win this game (and cover the spread), and Fears is the best offensive weapon on Michigan State's side. He's averaging 14.9 per game on the season, and he's put up at least 15 in seven of his last eight contests. That includes an average of 30 over the last two games (31 vs Michigan, 29 vs Rutgers).
