Can Michigan State cover on the road against Iowa? We’ve got your free pick and an in-depth betting preview, breaking down the key factors for this Big Ten showdown.

Fresh off a dominant win over Virginia, Duke (-9.5) takes their show to the World’s Most Famous Arena against an Illinois team that just surrendered 95 to Wisconsin. With the Blue Devils hitting their stride (16-10 ATS) and the illness-plagued Illini dropping seven of their last ten against the number at home, the chalk looks appetizing despite the venue.

Fresh off an 80-56 dismantling of Seton Hall, Marquette (-1.5) visits a Villanova team that showed fight at UConn but has been ice-cold at home. Despite the Golden Eagles’ pedestrian 11-14-1 ATS record, their recent 4-1 ATS run as favorites suggests this short spread could be a trap for Wildcats backers.

The Maryland Terrapins enter as heavy home favorites after dropping 101 on Iowa, but a scrappy USC squad with road covering prowess could keep things interesting. With the Trojans 6-4 ATS in their last 10 road games, this inflated spread deserves a closer look. Free pick inside
