Stone-Cold Lock of the Week

NCAA Men's Basketball

Purdue Boilermakers (-10) vs Michigan State Spartans (+10)

Lock of the Week: Purdue -10

Alright boys and girls! Your friendly ATM machine is back from hiatus and ready to line your pockets with cold hard cash. I emerge from the depths of my research a better man. Basketball season always tests me and my trial picks this week were worse than an STD.

But I live to learn and then gift this knowledge to you good people and I'm excited to be back in action.

However as your sleazy financial adviser, I feel like it's my personal responsibility to only give you the best advice possible.

For that reason, I'm going to ease into the basketball season with a single pick you could bet your second-born child on.

So without further adieu, here's why Purdue (-10) is your guaranteed lottery..

1) For starters Purdue is 11-3 against the spread at home this season and in those home games they have won by a scoring margin of 20.5.

2) The Boilermakers also boast an impressive defense only allowing 61.3 points per game, good for 22nd in the nation.

3) Purdue's Caleb Swanigan is a complete mismatch and tore the Spartans up in their previous meeting with 25 points and 17 rebounds to boot.

4) Michigan State is currently 4-7 against the spread on the road this season

5) You're gonna have to learn to trust me!
