Tarleton State vs Michigan Prediction 

Tarleton State comes into this game after losing by 63 points against Baylor in their last game and they will try to bounce back here, but they will face a tough Michigan team on the road here. The Texans have lost by margins of 63, 20, 31, and 34 points in their four D-1 games this season, so Michigan should cruise to the win here. The Wolverines play at a very fast pace, but they need to clean up their turnover issues. This is a huge number to cover, but I think the only play is Michigan or pass.
