Saturday night’s Michigan State vs. Ohio State game probably won’t draw record numbers because, well, the talent gap is fairly large.

The Spartans are 3-6 on the year and Ohio State is 9-0 and ranked No. 1 in the country.

No one is really expecting a close game, but Michigan State shocked the No. 1 Buckeyes back in 1998 and nothing is impossible.

Here’s how to watch the Michigan State vs. Ohio State game on Saturday evening.

Prediction for Michigan State vs. Ohio State

Michigan State is going into one of the most hostile environments for a night game which just doesn’t seem right given the fact that the Spartans are just 3-6, but that’s how the scheduling played out, I guess. I don’t see this one being all that close. We’ll see a solid game for a quarter like last year’s game, but then the hope will fizzle away in the final three quarters.

Prediction: Michigan State 10, Ohio State 45
