Michigan at Michigan State

This is a big rivalry game, and the Spartans are this year's hosts. Michigan St. is just 3-4 on the season. Michigan is 5-2, but is strong on both offense and defense. They average 6.7 yards per play while holding opponents to 4.7. Michigan St. can and will be exposed for their inability to defend the pass. The Spartans are allowing 8.2 yards per pass attempt. When the Spartans have the ball, they will not be able to run it, which means many defenders will be off the line of scrimmage, breaking into coverage. Michigan is not going to be beaten by a mediocre, one-dimensional offense. Michigan has a +9 in turnover rating. The Spartans have given up 38 or more points in their four conference games. Won't get it done here. Make the play on Michigan.
