AnnArbor.com's football journalists Mike Rothstein and Dave Birkett discuss the game and give us some insider perspective in their weekly video chat.
And this week, Rothstein and Birkett each picked different teams to win. Check out the video to hear what they had to say.

My problem has been, and always will be, that I feel the team with the best defense will win. And right now Michigan's defense is far less than stellar. That means MSU will put up a ton of points, against Michigan. So it comes down to who has the ball last. I am, and always will be, a Michigan fan, but I feel that, as previously mentioned by Rothstein, MSU is desparate, and they will win, at home. That does not mean I won't be screaming at the TV, every time Michigan messes up. And going absolutely nuts, every time Michigan scores. I just don't have the confidence that Michigan is ready, to win the big games, on the road. I hope RR and Michigan prove me wrong. GO BLUE!!!!

Today is the day Michigan D shows up on game day. I think RR will open up the running game today, giving a ton of carries to Brown, and Minor. Michigan wins this one 35-17

Hatred and desperation work fine: until the fourth quarter. Then, the energy you wasted with both comes back to bite you on the glutes. I can't wait for another MSU fourth-quarter collapse. UM by ten with fourteen fourth-quarter points.
