College Football Week 9: 5 bold predictions

4. Michigan gets their revenge

If you’ve been under a rock for the last year and don’t remember what happened last time Michigan and Michigan State played a football game, check this out and then come back. Ill wait. Remember now? Alright, lets continue on then. That play was by far the best and most exciting play of all of last year. With out that, Michigan State probably doesn’t go to the Big Ten championship and probably doesn’t go to the college football playoff, only to be put on blast by Alabama. I mean the Spartans didn’t even put up one point.

Well after what happened last year, I’m not expecting this game to be pretty. Michigan comes in at 7-0 and No. 2 in the country. Meanwhile Michigan State is 2-5 and nowhere near the polls at the moment. Now the game is being played in East Lansing and yes I do believe that in rivalry games that the underdogs always step up and play a great game. In all reality, ever sense Lloyd Carr stepped down as the head coach at Michigan, Michigan State has dominated this rivalry. Since 2008, the Michigan State is 7-1 against Michigan and they are on a three game win streak against the Wolverines at the moment.

A lot of fans like having rivalry games played at home, but with this game I think most Michigan fans are glad that it’s in East Lansing. They want to see their Wolverines crush the Spartans, badly. With the way these two teams have played this year, something tells me that’s going to happen. Michigan knows that they are the better team and that they are suppose to win this game, there is a reason they are 24 point favorites. They only team stopping Michigan from getting to where they want to get, is Ohio State. More commonly known to Michigan fans as, that team down south.
