If you forgot what time it is, let us remind you. It’s offi cially
IZZO TIME, the time of the season when future head coach
Tom Izzo shines, especially when his troops are out for
revenge. As we’ve shared numerous times on these pages,
behind Izzo, the Spartans are 65-41-2 ATS overall when
seeking conference revenge from Game 20 out, including 34-
16 ATS when they are hosting a foe with a .785 or fewer win
percentage. The payback here occurs from a double setback
Sparty suffered at the hands of the Badgers. It certainly
doesn’t hurt knowing that MSU stands 12-1 SU and 11-2
ATS at home in Game 29 of the campaign. Meanwhile, the
Badgers roll into East Lansing sporting a wobbly 3-9 ATS
ledger in games against foes seeking double-revenge from
the previous season. The bottom line is there are too many
checkboxes to ignore in the matchup, especially considering
THE CLINCHER: The Spartans are 24-1 SU and 20-5 ATS
as a home favorite if they were an underdog in the
last game, including 6-0 SUATS if Michigan State
sports a .700 or greater win percentage. BY PLAYBOOK
