(10) Michigan State (9-2, 4-4 ATS) at (21) Minnesota (12-0, 5-2 ATS)

After blowing through its non-conference schedule with a perfect record, Minnesota tips off its Big Ten season with a tough early-afternoon matchup against 10th-ranked Michigan State.

The Gophers are off to their best start in 60 years, and they capped their non-conference season with their most dominant win to date, routing High Point 82-56 in a non-lined home game. Three of Minnesota’s last four wins have come against non-lined competition, with the one exception being a surprising 70-64 upset of then-No. 9 Louisville as a nine-point underdog on a neutral court in Glendale, Ariz., two weeks ago. The last time Minnesota started a season with 13 straight wins was in 1948-49.

Since any ugly 98-63 loss to North Carolina as a 10-point underdog in Detroit on Dec. 3, Michigan State has ripped off five straight wins (2-1 ATS in lined action). The Spartans followed up a 67-63 upset win over Texas as a 5½-point underdog with Saturday’s 82-66 rout of Oakland in a non-lined game. Seven of Michigan State’s nine non-conference victories were by double digits.

The Spartans have won three straight meetings against Minnesota and eight of the last nine, going just 5-4 ATS during this stretch. Last year, Michigan State prevailed 65-59 as an 11-point home chalk and 78-73 as a one-point road favorite. The host has cashed in 10 of the last 14 meetings, with the Gophers going 5-2 ATS in the last seven clashes in Minnesota.

Minnesota, which has scored 80 points or more in four of its last eight games, averages 74.8 ppg while making 48.1 percent of its shots, and the Gophers surrender 61.6 ppg on 38.6 percent shooting. Meanwhile, Michigan State has scored 75 or more in six games, including four of the last five, and the Spartans net 79.5 ppg (49 percent shooting) and give up 68 ppg (41.6 percent).

Michigan State closed out last season on a 4-1 ATS run in Big Ten action, but Tom Izzo’s team is just 1-5 ATS in its last six lined games following a SU win. The Gophers have cashed in four straight lined contests (all at home), but they ended last year in a 1-4 ATS slump against Big Ten foes.

The under is on runs of 4-1 for the Spartans overall, 5-2 for the Spartans on the road, 4-1 for the Spartans after a SU win, 16-5 for Minnesota overall, 35-17 for Minnesota at home and 7-0 for Minnesota in league play. Finally, five of the last seven series meetings have stayed low.

ATS ADVANTAGE: MINNESOTA and UNDER

Wisconsin (9-3, 5-5 ATS) at (23) Michigan (10-2, 6-1 ATS)

Off to a surprising start after finishing 12 games under .500 last year, Michigan opens Big Ten play with a battle against Wisconsin, which is looking to defend its Big Ten regular-season crown.

The Wolverines closed out non-conference play with five straight victories, the first being a shocking 81-73 upset of then-No. 4 and unbeaten Duke as a 10-point home underdog. That victory came just two weeks after Michigan lost 71-56 to the Blue Devils at Madison Square Garden in New York. The Wolverines’ only other loss came in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge, a 75-70 setback at Maryland as a 5½-point underdog. Since beating Duke, Michigan has posted four blowout wins by margins of 31, 13, 17 and 20 points.

Wisconsin has been idle since Dec. 23, when it fell to ninth-ranked Texas 74-69 as a one-point home favorite. Since starting out 4-0, the Badgers have gone 5-3 in their last eight games (4-3 ATS), with all three defeats coming against the only ranked teams they’ve faced (Texas, Marquette and UConn). Bo Ryan’s team averaged only 61.3 ppg in its three losses.

Wisconsin has won eight of the last 10 against the Wolverines, including a current four-game winning streak (3-1 ATS). On its way to the Big Ten regular-season title last year, the Badgers beat Michigan three times, winning 70-54 as an 8½-point road chalk, 64-61 as 17½-point home favorite and 51-34 as a 13-point favorite in the Big Ten Tournament. The SU winner is 7-1 ATS in the last eight meetings, the host is 8-3 ATS in the last 11 and the favorite is 5-1 ATS in the last six.

The Badgers allow opponents to shoot 43 percent from the field, but they’re still only allowing 59.7 ppg, holding nine of 12 foes to 61 points or less. Offensively, Wisconsin has scored more than 70 points just three times. Michigan averages 74.8 ppg (44.7 percent shooting) and gives up 62.2 ppg (40.4 percent), but during its five-game winning streak, John Beilein’s squad has outscored its opponents by 18 ppg (83-65).

The Badgers are on ATS streaks of 7-1 in Big Ten play, 6-2 on the road (3-2 this year), 5-1 after an outright loss, 6-0 after a non-cover and 7-1 when playing on Wednesday. Michigan has cashed in all four home games this season, but it ended last year in pointspread funks of 1-4 in conference play and 1-7-1 on Wednesday.

The under is on runs of 12-5 for Michigan overall, 10-1 for Michigan in Big Ten action, 20-8 for Wisconsin in league play and 5-1 for Wisconsin following a SU loss.
