Michigan State has five players scoring in double-figures, pounding the glass with seniors 6-11 Carson Cooper (12 ppg) and 6-9 Jaxon Kohler (14.3 ppg, 13.3 rpg). While the Spartans can play any style, Kentucky plays an uptempo style, averaging 92.8 points while shooting 52.3%. That attacking style can come at a cost defensively, as was evident in a 96-88 loss to No. 12 Louisville. Kentucky is 3-1 OVER the total, part of a 12-9 run OVER. Take Michigan State/Kentucky OVER the total.

What a treat! A No. 1 vs. 2 opener at a neutral site, Madison Square Garden. This is the third straight season Michigan State's game in the Champions Classic has involved the No. 1 team in the country. They played close games against No. 1 Kansas and Duke the last two seasons. But this time Michigan State is top-ranked and the Spartans are on a 27-12 spread run, including 24-10 ATS as a favorite. A young Kentucky squad is ranked No. 2 for the second straight year. Kentucky is inexperienced, with a starting five that features two freshmen and two sophomores. And a year ago they got roasted by Duke in a marquee opener, 118-84. Under Izzo, Sparty is 397-249 ATS as a favorite and 157-139 in non-conferecne games. Back the more experienced team with the better coach and a superior defense. Play Michigan State.

This is an early season marquee matchup between powerhouses, which means both squads will bring their A-game on defense. The Michigan State Spartans are coming off a 65-63 loss to #11 Arizona on Friday in Honolulu, so the travel schedule has already been difficult. Coach Tom Izzo put four freshmen on the floor at times against Arizona. The defense was great, allowing 38.5% shooting, but the Spartans shot just 43% from the field and 32% from long range. Shooting 55.6% from the free throw line didn't help, either as part of a 5-2 run UNDER the total in non-conference games. Kentucky is also young and can play tough, physical defense for John Calipari. They are off a blowout win and the Wildcats are 41-18-3 UNDER the total when following a straight-up win of more than 20 points. Play this one to finish UNDER the total.
