Purdue vs Michigan Prediction

Give me Michigan here. I understand that Purdue dominated Michigan the last time these two teams faced off, but don’t let that fool you, they aren’t the play here. Michigan comes into this game with an 11-0 record straight up at home and they are going to have to find success here again. Goldin is going to have a huge game here, and his offensive skillset is going to be a mismatch up here. Michigan isn’t going to take its foot off the gas as they did in the last game, and they will get the job done. Back Michigan against the spread here.
