The Big Ten plays host to the only game featuring a top-25 team on Friday as the Purdue Boilermakers take on the Michigan State Spartans in East Lansing. The game tips off at 7 p.m. and you can watch it on FS1.
The No. 23 ranked Spartans 8-3 record looks good on the surface, but their Big Ten record is less than ideal at 2-3. They’ve seen losses to Northwestern, Minnesota and Wisconsin and have fallen all the way down from being ranked fourth in the nation. But MSU is riding a two-game winning streak since the calendar has changed, scoring 76 points per game on average in 2021.
The Boilermakers are a very middle of the road team, coming into at 7-5. They’ve lost three of their last four dating back to December 22. Their only Big Ten wins have come against Ohio State and Maryland by a combined 10 points, so they’re not blowing anybody out either.
If you can’t watch this game on TV, you have the option to stream the matchup via Fox Sports Live or the Fox Sports Go App. You’ll need a cable log-in for those apps.
The game is often a little bit delayed on live streams, but usually, it’s only between 30 and 60 seconds behind the TV broadcast. That can impact you if you’re on Twitter or live-betting during the game, but otherwise, it’s an easy option.
Michigan State is currently a 4.5-point favorite on DraftKings Sportsbook, while the Boilermakers are +165 on the moneyline.
