Michigan vs Michigan State Prediction

I’ll go with Michigan State here. The Spartans are coming off a pretty nice defensive effort in their win over the Hawkeyes. Michigan State gave up 283 yards (133 rushing) in that one along with just 12 first downs and a 5-of-11 rate on third-down tries. On offense, Michigan State gained 468 yards (256 passing) and 27 first downs in a solid all-around effort.

As for Michigan, they ran into a tough Illinois team in their road loss over the weekend. The Wolverines had three turnovers on offense and went a spotty 5-of-14 on third-down conversions. Michigan should rebound and play better in this weekend’s matchup, but I think the Spartans can hang around well enough to cover.
