See our predictions for Michigan State’s massive non-conference matchup against Washington this week

Can Michigan State pull off a massive upset in the midst off field turmoil this week? That’s a question the Spartans Wire staff has answered in our weekly predictions.

The Spartans will be without head coach Mel Tucker on Saturday who was suspended indefinitely for sexual harassment allegations on Sunday. Harlon Barnett will take over as the interim head coach with former Spartans legend Mark Dantonio coming back in an associate head coach role.

Michigan State enters this matchup as a two-touchdown underdog and will be looking to get revenge upon the Huskies who rolled past the Spartans last year in Seattle. Both teams enter this game 2-0 on the year.
