Trends

Michigan State is 5-0 ATS in their last 5 Tuesday games and 1-6 ATS in their last 7 road games. The over is 6-2 in Michigan State’s last 8 road games. Nebraska is 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games and 4-0 ATS in their last 4 home games. The over is 5-0 in Nebraska’s last 5 games. The favorite is 7-3 ATS in these two teams last 10 head to head meetings.

Pick

Michigan State has lost two of their last three games and they let a win slip away at Iowa on Saturday. Nebraska has won four games in a row and is playing their best basketball of the season. Nebraska is actually the better shooting team and they have scored at least 70 points in five straight games. I think Michigan State is going to come out slow in this game after the collapse against Iowa and I like Nebraska to keep this game close.
