MICHIGAN STATE vs INDIANA PREDICTION
The Spartans lost to Indiana twice last year which is tough to imagine considering Michigan State was a much better team. The Sharps are all over the Hoosiers but this is a game you will definitely want to keep an eye on the line movements until close to tip time. As the game gets closer you could see this line drop for Michigan State down to -3 which will not make sense with the public backing the Spartans. If this is the case, you should probably take the Hoosiers.
