Randy’s Free Pick
The Indiana Hoosiers are probably the more talented team, but they’re not nearly the same club on the road as they are at home. The Michigan State Spartans need a feel good win to boost their resume and there’s sure to be an emotional crowd with this being their first home game since the shooting. MSU wins at home by an average of 9 points. I like Sparty to step up big here.
