2. Michigan game comes down to the wire

Who wins the Michigan vs. Michigan State game? You’ll find out on the next page, but all I’m saying is this one comes down to the wire.

With the way the Wolverines have been playing ever since the second half of the Penn State game and Michigan State since the start of October, this one looks like it should be a blowout in Ann Arbor, but that won’t be the case.

As we’ve found out in recent years, this game can go either way. In 2015, it was a botched punt that decided the game and in 2017, Michigan State just wanted it more. Both times, the Spartans were underdogs and both times they proved people wrong. But in 2016 and 2018, they were underperforming and that led to disappointing losses.

Michigan State is underperforming right now, but I believe this team still has some fight left in it. Is it me drinking the green Kool-Aid? Maybe, but this rivalry game could dictate the future of the program and I believe Mark Dantonio knows that.

The Spartans and Wolverines will play an instant classic that goes down to the wire.
