Despite Michigan football being in the news for all the wrong reasons, the Wolverines will take the field still undefeated entering Week 10. The maize and blue’s next foe is a roiling Purdue Boilermakers team that has not played nearly as well as its predecessor Michigan saw in the Big Ten Championship game a year ago.
The game starts at 7:30 p.m. EDT and can be seen on NBC.

Two weeks ago, the Wolverines won emphatically, completely dominating Michigan State, 49-0, the worst beating the Spartans have received at the hands of the Wolverines in Spartan Stadium since 1947.
If you thought the past few games have seen lofty point spreads, this week is even more emphatic with the struggling Boilermakers coming to town.
- Point spread: Michigan -32.5
- Money line: N/A
- Over-under: 52.5

Advice and prediction
Ryan Walters has had some harsh words for Jim Harbaugh and the Wolverines, declaring them guilty of the allegations. Michigan has had to sit on its hands the past two weeks and just listen to all of the noise about ‘cheating’ and everything else. While I think there’s an opportunity for Purdue to jump on a Wolverines team that maybe will be pushing a little too hard at the outset of the game. But then, expect a team with much more talent across the board to do what it’s been doing: dominate thoroughly and convincingly.
We’re taking Michigan in the spread and the over.
Prediction: Michigan 55, Purdue 10
