Top College Basketball Betting Odds, Picks & Predictions: Penn State vs. Michigan
Penn State passed its first big conference road test with a 15-point win at Illinois. Jalen Pickett is a calming presence for Micah Shrewsberry’s squad, and he is emerging as a sleeper conference Player of the Year candidate. Pickett is fourth in the league in scoring (16.8 points) and leads the league in assists (7.5).
Michigan is being overvalued for a 35-point home win in its last game against Maryland, but that should not overshadow the fact it lost on its home floor to Central Michigan the game prior. The Nittany Lions turn the ball over at the lowest rate in the country (12.9%), and Michigan’s defense ranks 275th in forcing turnovers. Thus, Penn State should be comfortable running its offensive sets in this road matchup.
Penn State has covered the spread in seven of its previous eight road games, while Michigan is 0-5 ATS following a SU win of 20+ points.
Bet: Penn State +3.5 (-110 at DraftKings)
