Rotation #323-324
Purdue/Michigan Over 51.5
Purdue is an unranked team playing against the number two team in the country today. I don’t think Purdue has a shot at winning this game, as their defense is not good, and they don’t have the offensive talent to match Michigan. Michigan’s top running back, Blake Corum, is out for the season, but Donovan Edwards brings this team more explosive plays as he can also catch the ball. QB .J. McCarthy is having a great year and is full of confidence after beating Ohio State last week. I believe Michigan will remain unbeaten, but Purdue can make them uncomfortable in this game. Jeff Brohm is an excellent head coach for the Boilermakers. Purdue is a team that loves to throw the football, but this year they have a balanced attack with their running game. Purdue QB Aidan O’Connell is a senior and has been an excellent QB his entire career. O’Connell’s brother passed away two weeks ago, so he will be extra motivated to play well for him. Both teams should score a lot before Michigan takes over the game. Look for a high-scoring game. Take the Over.
