The set-up: The winner of this game will likely be crowned the conference regular season champion. I'm expecting this one to come right down to the wire and will therefore recommend that you grab as many points as you can. These teams are very evenly matched, as evidenced by this spread. It wouldn't be hard to write a convincing argument for either of these teams, but in a game where the talent level and team numbers are so similar, I've always tended to grab the points in a situation like that. And that's the situation we find ourselves in here for sure.

The pick: Take it for what you will as well, but MSU is 7-3 ATS on the road and a perfect 5-0 ATS this season after two or more consecutive SU home victories, while Michigan is just 3-5 ATS this year after successfully covering the spread in two or more straight games. For all the reasons listed above, grab the points.
