Michigan: 28, Michigan State: 10, and here’s why…

I really want to predict a fourth straight shutout but it just feels like Michigan State is going to be able to string together at least a couple (good enough) drives that end in points. That’s not the real key here, though. Michigan has climbed back into the realm of relevance and some are even talking about this team being a playoff contender. If the Wolverines win — and especially if it’s something like 28-10 — those talks become even more legitimate.
