A popular college football social media account believes the Spartans will reach a bowl game for the first time in five seasons.
CFB Home — a social media account with nearly 125,000 followers on X — released their game-by-game predictions for the Spartans this upcoming season, and they are higher on Michigan State than most. CFB Home has Michigan State finishing the 2026 season with a 6-6 overall record and 4-5 mark in Big Ten play.

CFB Home has Michigan State opening the year with a pair of victories over Toledo and Eastern Michigan. From there, they see the Spartans dropping a pair of games against Notre Dame and Nebraska before winning ripping off three straight wins against Wisconsin, Illinois and Northwestern.
Michigan State is sitting at 5-2 overall and 3-1 in Big Ten play following this impressive three-game winning streak. But from there, things get rough, with CFB Home predicting four straight losses against UCLA, Michigan, Washington and Oregon. Luckily, Michigan State is able to beat to Rutgers on the final game of the season to reach bowl eligibility.
Michigan State is entering the season with low expectations. The Spartans’ wins over/under total is set at 4.5, meaning CFB Home has the Spartans clearing the over by two games this fall.

I’m in line with what CFB Home is predicting as we inch closer and closer to the season. I haven’t filed my official game-by-game predictions yet for this season but they’ll be coming soon and should be fairly similar to CFB Home. Reaching a bowl game is the expectation for Michigan State this fall, and it’s positive to see someone else predicting that same achievement.
