San Jose State vs Michigan State Prediction 

Michigan State comes into this matchup after picking up a very nice win over Arkansas last weekend, but they shot very poorly from three point range in the game. The Spartans are shooting just 41.3% from the field this year, but they are very strong defensively and rebound the ball very well. San Jose State has allowed 85 and 84 points in their first two games, but they are shooting nearly 49% from the field. Michigan State is clearly the better team in this game, but I can’t lay this many points with a team that shoots this poorly. Take San Jose State and the points here.
