Expect a moneyline showdown in a jam-packed Maize and Blue arena
Grade B+: Michigan Moneyline

Wolverines center Jeremy Brooks, a force on the glass, hopes to dominate the paint against the Spartans—often known as the Green and White—on their home turf in Ann Arbor. With Michigan’s improved perimeter shooting, Michigan State’s steady ball control, and both teams’ flair for late-game heroics, this Big Ten tilt promises to be a nail-biter from tip-off to final buzzer. Bet on Michigan at -165 for a B+ grade.

A fierce in-state rivalry with spread drama to match
Grade B+: Michigan -3

Wolverines guard Marcus Fletcher, riding a hot streak from behind the arc, hopes to capitalize on home-court momentum against the Spartans—often called the Green and White—in this critical Big Ten clash. With Michigan’s balanced scoring attack, Michigan State’s stifling perimeter defense, and both teams’ knack for converting at the foul line, the final margin could hinge on late-game execution. Take Michigan at -3 (-120), a B+ wager.

Brace for a high-scoring rivalry under the bright lights
Grade B: Over 151 Points

Spartans guard Aaron Pierce, a dynamic force in the Green and White, hopes to thrive in transition against the Wolverines, whose sharp perimeter shooting and steady ball movement keep defenses on their heels. With both teams pushing the pace, Michigan’s strong rebounding, and each squad typically converting free throws at a high clip, the scoreboard could heat up in a hurry. Take the Over 151, a B-rated pick that stands to hit more often than not.
