3. Michigan State scores 80-plus in a win
In an earlier prediction I made, I had Michigan State scoring 80 and winning by four at Ohio State, but I could easily see that number grow for the Spartans.
While I do think Michigan State wins in the 3-4-point range, I do think the Spartans could score more than 80 much like Indiana State did against the Buckeyes last time out. Ohio State ended up winning 103-83, but the Spartans' offense has been pretty efficient this year and will be one of the toughest tests the Buckeyes will get all season.
Michigan State has scored 80-plus in five out of the past six games and I believe that will become six out of seven on Friday night as the Spartans win this one 80-76.
The Spartans are the underdog heading into the resumption of Big Ten play on Friday night but I see them not only covering the +2.5 that is being laid on them but they'll also win.
Michigan State improves to 12-2 and 3-0 in the Big Ten on Friday after a huge road victory.
