Auburn vs Michigan Prediction

I’m on Auburn here. I just think that this is where Michigan’s run comes to an end. The Wolverines were able to get by Texas A&M by beating the Aggies at their own game, but the Wolverines still have concerns about their turnover issues. Auburn is not a team you want to have those issues against, as they turn you over and relish the opportunities to get out in transition. I just don’t see Michigan keeping this one close for a full 40 minutes, so give me Auburn in this one.
