Michigan State started off as a 6 point favorite and that number is now up to 7. The total has gone from 131 to 135.
Michigan State Spartans
Michigan State has gotten off to a good start this year. I think when all is said and done, they are going to have a very good season.
The Spartans last played on Saturday, where they beat the Toledo Rockets by a score of 81-68. They played very well in the first quarter, but they were not as effective in the second quarter. That is why the final score was a little closer than some folks anticipated.
Unlike a lot of other teams, this group has already played some solid competition. It is good to see that they are not always playing weak teams.
In the win over the Rockets, a lot of people stepped up on the offensive side of things. The leading scorer was Max Christie, who had 14 points and 3 boards. Both Marcus Bingham Jr. and AJ Hoggard had 10 points in the victory.
Minnesota Golden Gophers
You could not ask for a better start out of Minnesota. They are playing some very good basketball.
At the moment, the Golden Gophers have a record of 7-0. Making it 8 wins will be no easy task when they go against a very talented and well-coached team in Michigan State.
They beat the Mississippi State Bulldogs on Saturday by a score of 81-76. That was a quality win for them over a team that is pretty good. With that said, it will be much tougher on Wednesday when they face the Spartans.
In the win over the Bulldogs, five different players reached double figures. That is always a good sign for your squad. The leading scorer was Payton Willis, who dropped 24 points and 7 dimes.

Oh boy, this ought to be an exciting game against two good teams from the Big Ten. Sign me up.
4* Free CBB Betting Pick: Minnesota ATS
Both of these teams come into this game playing some good basketball. Something has to give in this one.
I do not feel either team is going to give in during this game. I can see it being a very close one that comes down to the wire because I do not think one team is much better than the other.
Based on the trends above, you can see that Minnesota has been very good ATS as of late and I look for that to continue in this one. In a game such as this, the seven points are too high for me to lay. The Golden Gophers may not win the ball game, but I like them to keep it within that number.
Give me Minnesota getting 7 points at home in this game.
