Michigan State and Toledo prepare for season-opening football matchup

Michigan State hosts Toledo in a non-conference college football game this Friday at Spartan Stadium. Kickoff for the matchup in East Lansing is scheduled for 8 p.m. ET, with the game set to air on FS1. Ahead of the season opener, the social media account College Football Zone projected a narrow 28-24 victory for Michigan State. Despite the projection, Michigan State enters the contest favored by 9.5 points against the Rockets. Some observers have cited the potential for an upset, though consensus remains split on the exact margin of victory. Both teams are now finalizing preparations for the late-week kickoff as the Spartans begin their season against the MAC opponent.
