Pick

I’m taking Michigan State and the points. I just feel that the Spartans match up really well with Purdue and the last time that we saw these two teams lock up, Purdue escaped East Lansing with a one-point win. I think we have another game here that could come down to who has the ball last in the dying seconds, so give me the Spartans and the points here.
