Michigan State is traveling to Ann Arbor over the weekend to face the reigning national champions, the Michigan Wolverines, in Week 9 of college football.

The game sees the in-state rivals arrive with opposites to their previous year's situations at this point of the season. Both the Spartans and the Wolverines have an overall record of 4-3 and a Big Ten mark of 2-2, which is a marked improvement for the former and a letdown for the latter.

The game will air on the Big Ten Network, with Jeff Levering doing the play-by-play, Jake Butt in the analyst position and Brooke Fletcher as the sideline reporter.

The Wolverines come in as slight favorites, with ESPN Bet having them as 4.5-point favorites and the network's game predictor giving them a 67.2% chance of winning. Michigan's slight upper hand might be due to the home-field advantage.
