Why #7 Michigan Wolverines are a good bet ATS?
Michigan’s been excellent both straight up and against the spread this entire season. Recently, they’ve gone 4-1 on the moneyline and 4-1 against the spread.
The lone loss was to Michigan State, but the Wolverines could turn the tables on the Spartans. Now that they know how Michigan State will play them, Michigan should make the necessary adjustments to prevent the Spartans from pulling off the sweep.

Why Michigan State Spartans are a good bet ATS?
Michigan State was on an absolute roll before losing to Indiana last Saturday. The Spartans had their chances to put away the Hoosiers. They couldn’t. However, MSU bounced back with a win and cover against the Nebraska Cornhuskers.
The Spartans might just be better than the Wolverines. As a +4 road dog, Michigan State beat Michigan 77-70. That’s an 11-point win counting the spread. The better team prevails in rivalry games.

Michigan vs Michigan State Final NCAAB Betting Analysis
Michigan should play much better, but they have a bad matchup in this one. Spartans point-guard Cassius Winston dominated the Wolverines with 27 points and 8 assists in the last head-to-head. Cassius only turned the ball over 3 times while he stole it twice.
Michigan point-guard Zavier Simpson can’t hang with Winston. Not only that, but even though the Wolverines have looked great in their last couple of games, Simpson’s had a combined 5 turnovers and 0 steals. Zavier’s a true point-guard, he averages 6.3 assists and only 9.2 points while Cassius is a point-guard-scorer, averaging 18.8 points and 7.7 assists. The point-guard-scorer leads his team to the win and cover.
