Coach Izzo has been there done that with this program, which makes it even harder to pick against the Spartans. You can grab the Michigan State Spartans at +550.

North Carolina

The North Carolina Tar Heels are one of the best offensive teams in all of the nation. If Roy Williams and his Tar Heels start to figure out the ways on the defensive side of the ball, they will be extremely dangerous.
