Advice and prediction
There’s a reason why Gonzaga is favored by double-digits but I like the Spartans ability to at least keep it in striking distance throughout the second half. I have the Spartans losing this game by less than 10 so covering the 11.5-point spread is where I’m leaning.
The over-under also seems ripe for the picking with over seeming like an easy play. The one thing to keep in mind, however, is that this game is being played outdoors so weather conditions such as some wind gusts could alter the offensive flow and shots from outside. So I’m not hitting the over because of that but if I had to take a side then I’m going with the over hitting.
Advice: Michigan State (+11.5) / Over (147.5)
