*8* play on UNDER Wisconsin/Michigan State.

The Michigan State Spartans have won five of their last six overall, and they host BIG10 rivals Wisconsin tonight in East Lansing. These two teams have a history of playing close, low scoring games, and I think that trend will continue here in tonight's contest.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Home Cookin' - Michigan State is 11-2 at home, and the Spartans are 12-5 ATS in their last 17 home games. They have really been strong on defense, holding opponents to just 57.8 points on 35 percent shooting.

2. Previous History - The under is 6-1 in Badgers last seven road games, and they've failed to reach the total in six of their last eight visits to East Lansing. The under is 6-2 in Badgers last 8 games following a straight up win.

3. X-Factor - The under is 6-2 in the last eight meetings in Michigan St.

Selection: This is a play on the Badgers@Spartans to go UNDER the total (8*)
