As of Monday night, the line and the total have not moved. So far, 79% of the betting public is on Michigan State. Here are the latest trends for this game:

Badgers are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 home games vs. a team with a winning road record.

My Prediction: The Badgers followed up their victory at #1 Indiana with a road loss to Iowa on Saturday. They are now unranked, but 6 point favorites over 11th ranked Michigan State. The Spartans have won 5 in a row, but only one of those coming against a ranked team. The trends favor the home team in this series and I’m going to stick with that.
Wisconsin -6
