- Both of these teams lost four of their last five to end the regular season and shouldn’t be trusted laying this many points.

We have a good, old-fashioned mid-off in the Minnesota vs Michigan State matchup in the Big Ten tournament on Thursday afternoon. The Spartans and Golden Gophers both dropped four of their final five games to end the regular season and this tournament matchup could go in either direction. Minnesota is our pick to cover the spread as an underdog, as you would have to be crazy to lay this many points with either of these teams given how poorly they have played of late.
