BTB Betting Pick

For the spread pick, choose Toledo to cover the +23.5 point spread. The Rockets average 82.6 points per game, which is higher than Michigan State’s 76.5 points per game. This suggests Toledo can keep the game closer than the spread indicates. The Rockets’ offense, ranking 103rd in points per game, should help them stay within the spread.

For the over/under pick, select the under 151.5. Both teams have moderate scoring rates, with Toledo at 82.6 points per game and Michigan State at 76.5 points per game. The projected total score of 159.1 might seem high, but Michigan State’s slower pace of 65.0 possessions per game could lead to fewer scoring opportunities, making the under a safer choice.
