Bet Michigan State vs. Northwestern Odds
Oddsmakers from online sports book Sportsbook.com have made Michigan State a 6-point favorite over Northwestern in Week 8. The over/under total for this game is currently 54 points.
Let’s get to our free pick.
The Spartans are a perfect 7-0 on the year and have covered in five of those seven contests. They also won both of their road games this season, although they failed to cover the spread against Florida Atlantic in Week 2. They did cover, however, against Michigan as a 5-point underdog.
The Wildcats are 5-1 this year, but have failed to cover in four of their first six games. They’re 2-1 at home, but are just 1-2 against the spread in their home stadium.
Our Free Pick:
The Spartans have been a solid pick against the number so far this year, but we think they’re laying too many points this Saturday in Evanston. Michigan State is 1-5 against the spread in its last six meetings with Northwestern and the underdog is 7-1 ATS in the last eight overall games between these two teams. The Wildcats pulled off an impressive win against Iowa last season (albeit against the Hawkeyes’ freshman backup quarterback) and they may have another outright surprise this Saturday as well. Our pick is Northwestern at home getting the points.
