Michigan at Michigan State

The game of the week in the Big Ten. Big Brother vs. Little Brother.

Mark Dantonio has gotten the best of Michigan in his tenure going 8-3 against his in-state rival.

He’s 2-1 against Jim Harbaugh.

Given the strength of the defenses, this will be another low-scoring game like last year.

Even though the Spartans have the No. 1 rush defense in the FBS allowing 62.3 yards-per-game, Karan Higdon will play well and go over 100 yards with two touchdowns. That will be the difference.

The Wolverines use a long fourth-quarter drive to seal the win 20-13.
