The Michigan defense is allowing 12.7 points per game and 262.2 yards per game.
Purdue is 5-1 ATS in their last 6 neutral site games and 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games on turf. The over is 8-1 in Purdue’s last 9 games following an ATS win. Michigan is 4-1-1 ATS in their last 6 conference games and 18-7-1 ATS in their last 26 games overall. The over is 13-4 in Michigan’s last 17 neutral site games. The favorite is 5-2 ATS in these two teams last 7 head to head meetings.
Michigan will be without their star running back, Blake Corum, for the rest of the season, but that shouldn’t cause much of an issue in this game. Michigan is clearly the better team and should beat Purdue fairly easily. Michigan is coming off of their best game of the season and will be looking to solidify their seed in the College Football Playoff. Purdue has struggled in their last two games and was barely able to defeat Northwestern and Indiana. I like Michigan to get their ground game going with Edwards and Stokes and their defense will take over in the second half.
