Michigan State Spartans by 12
Alright, let's dive into the deep end of this NCAA battle between the Florida Atlantic Owls and Michigan State Spartans. Michigan State, riding high at #20 in the AP Poll Rankings, is kicking it up against the Owls, who are still waiting to see if they're on the list. And let me tell you folks, it's the holidays, but nothing is being handed out today.
The Owls squad boasts top players like Baba Miller, Leland Walker, and Kaleb Glenn. Miller has been producing consistently this season, clocking the same average 11.7 points per game both over the last month and this whole season. Walker and Glenn are holding the fort with an average of 10.6 and 12.0 points per game in the last month respectively.
On the Spartan's corner, we've got Jaden Akins throwing 14.1 points per game in the last month. Also, let's not forget about Jaxon Kohler. The man's a human vacuum cleaner snagging 8.9 rebounds per game over the last month while scoring an average of 7.3 points. Then there is Jase Richardson, whose last month's stats boast 11.7 points per game.
Looking at this season's records, Michigan State has been out-performing the Owls with a 9-2 versus the Owls' 7-5. The recent results show the Owls have been struggling with more tightly contested games, while the Spartans have had tidier victories, stamping out both Oakland Golden Grizzlies and Nebraska Cornhuskers with commanding leads.
So, combining our top-tier athletes on the court, the on-paper record, and results, I've got an inkling where this might be headed. Gather around, my betting friends, 'cause here it comes.
