Purdue vs. Michigan Picks

The Purdue Boilermakers have been struggling on the offensive side of the field as they are 85th in the sport with 215.5 passing yards per game. Quarterback Hudson Card has been struggling to be consistent in throwing the football as he is 165-of-278 (59.4 completion percentage) for 1,717 yards with eight touchdowns and seven interceptions. With only 226 passing yards in his last two games combined, go with the under in this game.

The Michigan Wolverines have been doing pretty well on the rushing attack throughout the year as they are sitting in 45th place in the nation with 174.3 rushing yards per game. Running back senior Blake Corum has been doing well as he has 111 carries for 605 yards (5.4 yards per attempt) with 13 rushing touchdowns as well as eight catches for 60 yards (7.5 yards per reception).

He is averaging 60 rushing yards in his last three games but with how the game script will be, expect the over on Corum's rushing yards.

This spread and total imply not many points to be scored by Purdue. However, they are averaging 19.8 points in their previous four games. There is no doubt that the Wolverines should win this game and likely convincingly. However, 32.5 points is way too much and expect this game to be closer to a 40-20 game.
