Prediction: This would be a game to be concerned about in past seasons, and probably will be in future seasons, but not this season. Purdue has talent, but is young. Michigan shouldn’t have much trouble outscoring the Boilermakers. Purdue may keep pace early on, but eventually the Wolverines should overwhelm the Boilermakers with their offense and win comfortably. Michigan 81, Purdue 62
