Pick via FOX Sports Betting Analyst Jason McIntyre:
If you saw Purdue start the season 1-2 and then barely beat Florida Atlantic, you are probably wondering how the Boilermakers are here. Plain and simple, it’s the schedule.
Purdue lost to slightly above-average teams like Wisconsin and slipped by Northwestern a few weeks ago. Before you look at fading Michigan after the win over Ohio State — as many did last year — remember that Michigan rolled Iowa 42-3 in this same spot in the 2021 season.
Hate to give out a double-digit favorite on a neutral field, but the Boilermakers aren't good. The Wolverines defense bottled up the Buckeyes in the second half, and QB J.J. McCarthy made all the plays needed to win by 23 on the road. McCarthy gets pegged as a game manager, but he has been great at protecting the ball and coming through when the team needs him to.
Lay the points with the Wolverines. Don’t be surprised if this game closes on the other side of 17 by Saturday.
PICK: Michigan (-16.5 at FOX Bet) to win by more than 16.5 points
