Premium Pick

This Ohio State team matched up to Michigan State and lost by 3. Michigan State might be the toughest place to play ball in the Big Ten, even more than Illinois, and OSU has a tough task ahead of them if they though playing Wisconsin tough. I think the value here with Michigan State at home is solid considering the record MSU has posted on the home court. Keep in mind OSU is a top 10 team in PR rankings yet they are 1-3 on the road against top 50 teams as their big wins come at home. Michigan State is a perfect 13-0 at home including 3-0 against top 50 teams at home. At home this team has won by at least 8 points in every home game and every conference game after that GT scare at home they had earlier this year. I expect much the same as OSU goes down here to MSU despite the points as it hasn't made a difference before and I don't it makes a difference now. Keep in mind this team has handed their ass to teams such as Michigan, Iowa and Indiana and I expect them to do the same here. Two stars on the Spartans.
