Michigan St has been a home favorite of 12.5 points or more 8 times this season going 7-1 ATS. The Spartans are also playing as well as any team having covered 10 straight which in East Lansing means having a shut-down defense as they have held their last 5 opponents at home to under 40% shooting. MSU also just man-handled OSU on Feb 23rd in a 81-62 blowout and it was only that close because the Buckeye's shot 90.5% from the free throw line. Ohio St is off a Senior day upset of Iowa but that was at home and last Sunday as they had a mid-week bye. The road has been a different story for the Buckeyes against the top tier Big 10 teams as they have been an away dog of 5.5 or more points 4 times and they are 0-4 SU and 1-3 ATS with the cover at Purdue losing by 11 points.
