Here's the one thing I will say - most people struggle with this. When it comes to rivalry games, you can throw the record, recruits, talent, etc out the door - it boils down to which team plays harder and together. Just look at Michigan - OSU the past 4 years...heck 2 years ago OSU was favored by 20 points I think, perhaps even more, and we almost beat them! I expect that Michigan will show up against MSU and it will not be like the games of past. Also don't forget that MSU has had the luxury of having 3 of the last 4 games at home with their only loss coming at Michigan...I think Spartan fans tend to kinda forget that fact. Home field makes a huge difference in rivalry games (pick any rivalry game in history and you will see a massive difference).
I am not sure who wins, on paper I would say MSU but I think Michigan will play harder in that game then any other game of the season - I expect there will be a lot of Jabrill on offense, trick plays, etc. I predict a Michigan win but I do not predict a blowout as I expect MSU will be favored by a TD likely.
