Michigan State and Wisconsin will tip-off at 1:30PM ET today and according to oddsmakers from online sports book RealBet.eu, the Spartans are 6.5-point road favorites. The line opened at 6 but with 77% of public bettors backing MSU, the number climbed a half point.
Why Michigan State:
Because the Spartans have been a solid bet to bounce back under Tom Izzo. Over the past five years, Michigan State is 24-9 against the spread coming off a loss. In those 23 games, they’ve won by an average margin of 12.0 points and have covered by an average margin of +3.0.
Sparty is also 6-1 against the spread in their last seven games following a double-digit loss at home and are 8-3 at the betting window in their last 11 games following an ATS loss. On the other side, the Badgers are 5-11 ATS in their last 16 games overall and have failed to cover the spread in five of their last seven home games.
