MSU-Michigan Prediction, 5 Determining Factors from LSJ’s Graham Couch

Graham Couch of the Lansing State Journal provides his prediction for MSU-Michigan on Saturday

Can Michigan State visit the Big House and leave with an upset win on Saturday? That’s a realistic question many are wondering across the state of Michigan.

Michigan State and Michigan renew their annual in-state rivalry on Saturday night in Ann Arbor. The Spartans are looking to beat the Wolverines for the first time since 2021.

Michigan State comes into this matchup with momentum after knocking off Iowa last week. That victory pushed the Spartans to 4-3 (2-2 Big Ten).

Michigan comes into this game with identical records. However, the Wolverines have dropped their last two games and are looking for a bounce-back win on Saturday.

Kickoff is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET on Saturday and the game will be televised on the Big Ten Network.
