I love everything about this spot for Michigan. This is a must-win game for the Wolverines' tournament hopes, as they are currently on the bubble with three tough regular-season games to go. It is also a revenge spot, as Michigan lost to Michigan State earlier this season, 83-67. In that game, Michigan shot just 3-19 from the three-point line while the Spartans made 9-18 from downtown. Michigan's Hunter Dickinson had 25 points last time they played and I expect him to feast again tonight. Take Michigan laying the points in a 'Maize Out' game at the Crisler Center.

The home team has been dominant in this rivalry over recent years. The home team has won and covered the spread in each of the last seven meetings between these two teams. This spread is too low. The Spartans have been struggling as of late as they are just 2-6 ATS in their last eight games. I am expecting the Wolverines to take care of their rival to split the season series.
