Michigan State hosts Richmond this afternoon — here’s what you need to know for this matchup between the Spartans and Spiders

Michigan State football looks to keep the winning ways going with another home non-conference matchup this week against FCS foe Richmond.

The Spartans opened up the 2023 season with a comfortable victory over Central Michigan, 31-7, last Friday at Spartan Stadium. Noah Kim made his first career start for the Spartans in the victory over the Chippewas.

Richmond is looking to bounce back from a season-opening loss against Morgan State. As a ranked preseason FCS team, the Spiders were heavy favorites in that matchup but were unable to get the victory last week.

ESPN FPI lists Spartans as near lock to beat Richmond this week

See what odds ESPN’s Football Power Index gives Michigan State to beat Richmond this week

Michigan State is a near lock to beat FCS foe Richmond this week, according to ESPN’s Football Power Index (FPI).

ESPN FPI lists the Spartans’ chances of beating the Spiders to improve to 2-0 on the season at 98.4 percent. That is by far the highest odds for any remaining Michigan State game this year.

Richmond is coming off a disappointing 17-10 loss against Morgan State in their season-opener this past weekend. The Spiders entered the 2023 season ranked in the preseason FCS coaches poll and were expected to win this past weekend.

With this being a matchup between a FBS and FCS team, there aren’t any betting odds listed at this time.

Kickoff from Spartan Stadium is scheduled for 3:30 p.m. ET. The game will be televised on the Big Ten Network.
