Purdue vs Michigan Prediction 

Michigan comes into this matchup after picking up a win over rival Michigan State, but their passing offense was horrendous in that game. The Wolverines have a very solid rushing attack and their defense is above average, but they need to develop the passing game before Ohio State. Purdue has lost six games in a row and they blew a great chance to beat Rutgers last week. The Purdue offense started the season playing decently well, but they have taken a step back over the last three games. I think Michigan will really try to push the ball downfield in this game, as Underwood tries to find a rhythm, which should open up huge run plays. Take Michigan here.
