Michigan State vs Wisconsin Prediction, Picks & Odds for Tonight’s College Basketball Game

The Wisconsin Badgers welcome the No. 10 ranked Michigan State Spartans to the Kohl Center on Friday night.

Both teams are coming off wins against No. 8 Illinois but MSU hasn’t played since Saturday, giving legendary coach Tom Izzo more time to prepare for this matchup. That’s one reason why my Michigan State vs. Wisconsin predictions are backing the visitors.

Michigan State vs Wisconsin prediction

Michigan State vs Wisconsin best bet: Michigan State -2.5 (-110)

The Wisconsin Badgers have some huge road wins on their résumé but are 2-5 ATS in their last seven home games. Meanwhile, the Michigan State Spartans are 3-1 SU and ATS in their last four trips to Madison.

MSU struggles with turnovers against teams that pressure ball-handlers. However, Wisconsin ranks 316th in opponent turnover rate so Jeremy Fears will have time to orchestrate the offense.
