Michigan State’s highly anticipated Peach Bowl matchup with Pitt is finally here, and we have one final batch of predictions for it.

The Spartans enter this game 10-2 on the season, but will be without their top player in running back Kenneth Walker III — who has entered the NFL Draft and opted out of the bowl game. Pitt is 11-2 on the year, with an ACC Championship under their belts.
