Michigan State vs. Toledo Prediction, Odds, Picks for College Football Week 1

The Michigan State Spartans will kick off their 2026 college football season against the Toledo Rockets at Spartan Stadium on Friday in a Week 1 matchup on FS1. A new era begins for both programs, with new head coaches leading the way. The Spartans hired Pat Fitzgerald to turn around a program that reached the four-team College Football Playoff in 2015 but hasn't posted a winning season since 2021. With a revamped roster and plenty of new faces, Fitzgerald will get his first look at what this new-look Michigan State team is capable of. Toledo also enters a new era under Mike Jacobs after Jason Candle left to become the head coach at UConn. Jacobs has won everywhere he's been, compiling a 94-23 career record as a head coach. Now, he'll bring that success to the MAC and look to keep the Rockets among the conference's top programs. However, with a new coaching staff and a heavily revamped roster, Toledo could experience some early growing pains against a Big Ten opponent.
