Michigan State vs. Toledo: Three Best Bets for Tonight

Last Game: 0-3

Overall Record: 0-3

Last Game Recap

The Spartans scored 96 points, easily going over the 89.5-point team total I recommended staying under. I also told you to take Quinnipiac with the 32.5-point spread, but Michigan State won by 37. Lastly, I recommended taking the under on 149.5 total points, but the two teams combined for 155.

Here are three bets I’m hammering tonight as I look to get back on the winning side of things.

They took an early lead thanks to some premier three-point shooting, although that production slowed down a bit as the game went on. Michigan State finished with nine made three-pointers while shooting 39.1% from beyond the arc.

If the early shooting and three-point production continue, the Spartans truly could be a top-six team in the nation. Offense has traditionally been what slowed…
