Michigan State at Michigan: Can Spartans pull another rivalry upset over Wolverines?

See our predictions for Michigan State’s rivalry matchup against Michigan on Saturday

The state of Michigan will be on fire this weekend as the Spartans and Wolverines renew their hated rivalry on Saturday.

Michigan State will travel to Ann Arbor, Mich. on Saturday for a primetime matchup against hated-rival Michigan. The game is set to kick off at 7:30 p.m. ET and will be only the second-ever night game in this historic rivalry.

Both the Spartans and Wolverines enter this game off a bye last week, and looking to build off wins in the week prior. Michigan is a perfect 7-0 on the season, while Michigan State is 3-4 after suffering a four-game losing streak.

Can the Spartans string together enough big plays to knock off the Wolverines yet again on Saturday? Here are our score predictions for Michigan State-Michigan and how we see this Big Ten battle playing out:

Report: MSU-UM matchup ‘expected’ to be a night game this season

One of the Big Ten’s biggest rivalries could be played in primetime for only the second time ever this upcoming season

One of the Big Ten’s biggest rivalries could be played in primetime for only the second time ever this upcoming season.

Detroit Sports Nation is reporting that the Michigan-Michigan State rivalry matchup is “expected” to be played at night this year. The site states nothing has been made official yet but there is definitely a possibility — maybe even a likely possibility — that we’ll see this game played under the lights.

The Spartans and Wolverines’ rivalry matchup is scheduled for Oct. 29 and will be played at Michigan Stadium this year. These two teams have only played one other night game before — back in 2017 when Michigan State knocked off the Wolverines in the Big House.

Michigan State-Michigan kickoff, TV details announced for Oct. 30 matchup

We now know the kickoff time and TV details for one of the biggest Michigan State games in a really long time

[mm-video type=video id=01fjar54xsgjenp6n81x playlist_id=01eqbz825g32p3akwt player_id=none image=https://images2.minutemediacdn.com/image/upload/video/thumbnail/mmplus/01fjar54xsgjenp6n81x/01fjar54xsgjenp6n81x-0a092733853c0f6081804ac35e7f3a87.jpg]

We now know the kickoff time and TV details for one of the biggest Michigan State matchups in a really long time.

It was announced on Monday that Michigan State’s home game against rivals Michigan will be a noon game and be televised nationally on FOX on Oct. 30. The game will be part of FOX’s “Big Noon Kickoff” series.

The decision to have this massive rivalry matchup be a noon game has been met with a lot of anger from the two fanbases. Some — including myself — were hoping this would be a night game but that is sadly not the case.

Both Michigan and Michigan State are currently undefeated and that should remain the case for next week’s game. Michigan State is on a bye this week and Michigan hosts Northwestern in a game where the Wolverines are three-touchdown favorites.
