Take Michigan State plus the points at 4:30 ET. This is an experienced team that boasts the best scoring trio in the country, with Paul Davis, Maurice Ager and Shannon Brown all averaging 17 ppg. These three have gone into Value City Arena and made it happen, as the Spartans have won their last three SU there and are 4-2 ATS there since 1997. Michigan State has taken care of the ball well, which has been a boon for them in the past; since 97, they are 15-5 ATS after four straight games with fourteen or less turnovers. They come in as a dog with an offense averaging 79.9 ppg, but have beaten some solid opponents including Boston College. Ohio State, on the other hand, really hasn't been challenged yet. Look for Izzo's boys to keep it close and sneak a win out of Columbus.
