The Michigan State Spartans will put their seven-game win streak on the line when they face their conference rival, the Purdue Boilermakers in a headline BIG10 conference matchup. The Spartans are 11-2 in conference play and have only lost once at home this season. Purdue should pose a legitimate threat to Michigan State and open as a three-point dog.
- Michigan State is 7-0 SU in its last seven games in conference play.
- The total has gone UNDER in six of Purdue's last seven games with two days off between games.
- Michigan State is 18-5 ATS in its last 23 games at home vs teams with winning records.
The No.3-ranked Boilermakers are coming off a tough road loss to Ohio State on Wednesday and it was their first conference loss this season. Purdue is 9-1 SU on the road this year and a win vs Michigan State today could bode well for the Boilermakers bid to get a 1-seed in March.
Where Purdue has been getting roughed up lately is on the glass as the Boilermakers have been outrebounded in seven consecutive games. They also haven’t been the most reliable spread-bet recently at 0-5 ATS in their last five conference games. The Boilermakers will need a huge effort from Carsen Edwards to have a shot at knocking off the Spartans as he averages 17 points per game and scored 28 vs Ohio State in a losing effort.
The Spartans, on the other hand, should relish the opportunity to face Purdue and will try to show they’re the team to beat in the BIG10. Michigan State may be battle-tested but has also been a letdown for spread-bettors lately as MSU hasn’t covered the spread in five straight games. Miles Bridges has led the charge for the Spartans this season but if he’s the only one who shows up on defense today, the Boilermakers could run them off the floor.
