Duke vs Michigan State Prediction | March Madness Picks and Bracketology
In Coach K’s final hurrah, he gets another matchup with Tom Izzo and his Spartans. This is a rivalry he has dominated, winning 12 of 15 games, and the college basketball betting odds believe he will do it again.
In the First Round, Duke was able to coast against CS Fullerton. While they didn’t cover the spread, they were never in any real danger. Michigan State, on the other hand, had to fight to the final seconds against Davidson. A career performance from Sam Hauser was needed for the Spartans to move on.
It’s pretty obvious that Duke is the more talented team in this matchup. However, this Blue Devils team doesn’t have much grit and they can lose focus quickly. Instead of picking if they can finally cover a spread, we will bet the game total going over, as has been the trend for both teams.
Our college basketball betting Duke vs Michigan State prediction tonight will be the point total going OVER at BetUS.
For what it’s worth, the ESPN Matchup Predictor gives Duke a 78.1% chance to win.
