Spartans Wire Picks: Our predictions for every Week 8 Big Ten game

Another fun week of Big Ten action is on the agenda for Saturday.

Big Ten action is in full swing with numerous big-time conference matchups on the slate, including Michigan State’s annual rivalry game against Michigan. The Spartans will look to snap a four-game losing streak and avoid losing back-to-back years against the Wolverines.
