Northwestern has an ATS record of 5-8 heading into this matchup. This includes a five-game losing streak against the spread. They were 5.5 point favorites against Maryland in their most recent match but failed to cover by 12.5 points.

 

The Spartans, on the other hand, lost two straight games against the spread. They have a 9-7 ATS record overall. Expect Michigan State to take care of business at home in this contest.
