MSU-Michigan Prediction, 5 Determining Factors from LSJ’s Graham Couch

Can Michigan State head to the Big House and leave with an upset win on Saturday? That’s a realistic question many are wondering across the state of Michigan.

Michigan State and Michigan will renew their annual in-state rivalry on Saturday night in Ann Arbor, Mich. The Spartans are looking to beat the Wolverines for the first time since 2021.

Michigan State comes into this matchup with momentum after knocking off Iowa last week. That victory pushed the Spartans to 4-3 overall and 2-2 in Big Ten play.

Michigan also comes into this game with a 4-3 overall record and 2-2 mark in Big Ten play. The Wolverines have dropped their last two games and are looking for a bounce-back win on Saturday.

Kickoff is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET on Saturday and the game will be televised on the Big Ten Network.

Graham Couch of the Lansing State Journal is back again this week to offer up his thoughts on this matchup between Michigan State and Michigan. Click here to see how Couch believes this game will play out and who he has winning in the end.
