1. Michigan State pulls off the upset

Sitting at 4-5 on the year and facing the No. 6 team in the nation who happens to be 9-0, there feels like there's no way Michigan State pulls off the upset on Saturday, right?

Well, we've seen Tom Izzo pull off crazier things.

He's been hearing all week about how he's failing to have his team ready and the Spartans aren't meeting expectations. He's sick of it. Izzo will have the troops ready against arguably the best team they've seen all season (outside of Arizona) and the Spartans will pull off a huge win.

With Jaden Akins playing like his old self, Malik Hall putting up a double-double, and Tyson Walker doing his best Tyson Walker impression, Michigan State will figure out a way to pull this one off.

There's a reason Vegas thinks this game will be close despite the Spartans being 4-5. It's going to happen (we hope).
