Our Michigan St. vs Auburn Prediction
As we get closer and closer to the National Championship, these games are likely to get more intense. With that, the defenses for both Michigan State and Auburn look ready to step up. The Spartans and Tigers have held their opponents to 70 points or less in all of their tournament games and their games are a combined 5-1 in favor of the under.
Therefore, with a spot in the Final Four on the line, we expect this game to be played at a much slower pace than what these teams might be used to. For that reason, our Michigan State Spartans vs Auburn Tigers prediction is the alternate total under 150.5.Jackpot Pools
