2 play package Thursday Night

[Pick Bot]

MInnesota +8.5 2.2* bonus
Michigan State will be looking ahead to their showdown with Wisconsin on Sunday as they face off against the Gophers as heavy favorites. Minnesota is very desperate to get a signature win as they are not in the discussion of being in the tournament although I feel they are better than their 16-12 record indicates. Michigan State has not been dominant at home this year going to OT 4 x 3 against teams that Minnesota is better than. Michigan State comes into this game with momentum while Minnesota is off a bad loss I expect them to rebound and have a chance to win.

Portland +3 4.4* POD
Very similar situation as BYU is looking ahead to their showdown against Gonzaga where Portland wants revenge on BYU for their loss earlier this season. They definately have the offense for it and I think they will get a win at home where BYU has won 4 in a row SU and ATS are being a bit over valued here. Portland faced BYU on the road and played their worst defense of the season along with being -10 FTA. They are a different team at home and it will show tonight.
