Free Betting Pick: LSU Tigers +6
This spread is a little too high for me to back the Michigan State Spartans as they are still dealing with the injury to Nick Ward and the loss of Joshua Langford. LSU has the more talented backcourt with Skylar Mays and Tremont Waters, and they are the perfect matchup to try and prevent Cassius Winston from not only scoring the ball but distributing it. LSU will once again look to use the offensive skill set of Naz Reid to not only help the interior scoring but also stretch the floor. Michigan State wins but fails to cover, 75-72.
