Michigan State Looking For its 8th Straight Victory

Washington vs Michigan State Prediction

Michigan State has been very impressive, going a perfect 6-0 in December (5-1-0 ATS) after beating North Carolina in its last game in November and winning its first game in January, winning outright at Ohio State, 69-62 as 2.5-Point Road Underdogs in Columbus. Like Oregon at Ohio State, Washington may have trouble playing on a new court and so far from home (2,289 miles) and in a Time Zone (EST) 3 hours ahead of its Washington state Body Clocks (PST). Besides being the Huskies first Road game since December 3 at UCLA, this will be their first game this year playing in the Eastern Time Zone. This Washington vs Michigan State NCAAB pick will side with the Spartans who have won their last 4 games by 37 (Nebraska), 19 (Oakland), 17 (Florida Atlantic), and 18 (Western Michigan) at Home by an average of 22.8 PPG. This prediction is for another double-digit Spartans victory on the Home hardwood.

Kevin’s Prediction: Michigan State -13.5
