1. Michigan State wins by double-digits for 10th victory

Win No. 10 on the season won’t come easy, but Michigan State is going to achieve it with a 10-point victory over the Cougars in the Holiday Bowl.

Yes, a double-digit win from Michigan State over another top-20 team. Although the Cougars have a decent offense, led by Luke Falk, they’re ailing with a potential left wrist injury to the starting quarterback as well as the dismissal of their top two wide outs.

Michigan State won’t take this game lightly, either. The Spartans are hungry for that 10th win and momentum heading into the 2018 season. The youth helped provide a “flip the script” type of season and that’s what we will see on Thursday.

Although Falk might have a strong showing thanks to some short routes taking advantage of coverage 10 yards off the ball, the Spartans’ youth will show up and show off, proving to the rest of the country that they are a top-10 team to watch for in 2018.
