Before we get to our free pick for this contest, let’s take a look at the latest odds.
Oddsmakers from online sports book SBGGLOBAL.com have made Iowa a 6.5-point favorite over Michigan State in Week 9. The over/under total for this game is currently 50.5 points.
The Spartans enter Saturday with a perfect 8-0 record and have covered in six of those eight games. They’re also a perfect 2-0 on the road this year and covered in each of those games as well.
The Hawkeyes are a sound 5-2 this year and have covered in four of their first seven games. They’re also 4-1 at home this season and have covered in three of their five games in Iowa.
Our Week 9 Free Pick:
The Spartans were highly fortunate to cover the spread last week against Northwestern (or even win the game considering they were down 17-0 in the first half), but they’re being slapped in the face by oddsmakers this week. Yes, Michigan State is 0-4 ATS in its lat four meetings with the Hawkeyes and yes, its also 0-4 ATS in its last four meetings in Iowa. However, it’s usually safe to take top-10 teams getting points – whether it’s on the road or at home. There’s a reason why they’ve climbed the top-25 later and MSU knows that if it can get by Iowa this Saturday, it has a chance to win the Big Ten title because it doesn’t play Ohio State. Our pick is the Spartans. The underdog is 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings between these two teams and we like MSU to keep things close.
