The Spartans do have one glaring weakness on their resume and that\u2019s turning the ball over.

The Wolverines&#8217; defense ranks 338th nationally in forcing turnovers.<\/p>\n<p>Michigan will rely on its offense to remain efficient, led by center Hunter Dickinson who is shooing 63% from inside the arc on the year. The supporting cast of Moussa Diabate, Caleb Houstan, Eli Brooks and DeVante Jones will have to step up if they want a shot at pulling the upset on the road in this one.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Screenshot-2022-01-28-9.04.53-PM.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3202\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Screenshot-2022-01-28-9.04.53-PM.png\" alt=\"MSU vs Michigan Analysis from GoldSheet\" width=\"1184\" height=\"624\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Screenshot-2022-01-28-9.04.53-PM.png 1184w, https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Screenshot-2022-01-28-9.04.53-PM-300x158.png 300w, https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Screenshot-2022-01-28-9.04.53-PM-1024x540.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Screenshot-2022-01-28-9.04.53-PM-768x405.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1184px) 100vw, 1184px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">\ud83e\udd11 With the Big Game around the corner, lock in ALL SPORTS, ALL PLAYS &amp; ALL 5% BEST BETS from now &#8217;til Super Bowl 57 (Feb. 12, 2023), from your favorite WagerTalk handicapper for ONLY $1,199 (regular price of $1,999), for a total savings of $800!<br \/>\n\u27a1\ufe0f <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/mPgehIHx7k\">https:\/\/t.co\/mPgehIHx7k<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/NdQEv3ewYb\">pic.twitter.com\/NdQEv3ewYb<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 WagerTalk (@WagerTalk) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/WagerTalk\/status\/1487047809379364868?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">January 28, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2>NCAAB Stat Sheet<\/h2>\n<p>Each day, WagerTalk handicapper <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/profile\/ralph-michaels\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ralph Michaels<\/a> puts together his College Basketball Stat Sheet, which offers a head-to-head comparison for how teams are performing in a number of key areas heading into a game.
