Michigan-MSU preview: Predictions and keys for the Wolverines avoiding the rivalry trap

It's rivalry week, and 247Sports' Zach Shaw and Steve Lorenz break down the Michigan football team's matchup against Michigan State. The two open with a look at how the Wolverines' offense can find consistent success against a slumping Michigan State defense. They look at an opportunity for Michigan to air the ball out, and debate if the run game can still be the Wolverines' point of emphasis on Saturday. They also look at some prop-bet predictions for the offense, among other keys. In the second half of the episode, the two look at the other side of the ball, and go over the main concern areas facing Michigan's defense. They discuss the Spartans' passing attack, run game issues and other factors. They close with their final game predictions and sentiments for the game.
