<h2>
Michigan Wolverines at Purdue Boilermakers Overview<br />
</h2>
<p>
The Boilermakers are set-up to be one of 2016’s most improved teams. This can be chalked up to the Boilermakers being placed under the custodial care of first-year Head Coach Jeff Brohm. Brohm was the mastermind of a Western Kentucky offense that led the nation in scoring in several years of his tenure. He was also the man that helped former Hilltoppers quarterback Brandon Doughty achieve historic recognition for his on-the-field abilities. Needless to say, Purdue has bought into Brohm’s philosophies. In their most recent showing, the Boilermakers smoked the Missouri Tigers on the road in Colombia by a score of 35-3 despite closing as a touchdown underdog. The Wolverines enter off a victory against the Air Force Falcons in the Big House, when they achieved a 29-13 victory at Michigan Stadium. Michigan has yet to lose a game this season and also owns wins over Florida and Cincinnati. Purdue’s sole defeat came on Labor Day weekend when they challenged the Louisville Cardinals in a 35-28 donnybrook. The Boilermakers entered the contest as a 25.5-point home dog.

Michigan Wolverines at Purdue Boilermakers ATS Prediction

This game has all the features that can set up the Wolverines for an epic fall. Purdue is undergoing a transformation and it is clearly evident by the quality of results they have fostered in comparison to their 2016 efforts. Michigan has a huge tendency for let-downs. With the Wolverines making quick work of clearly inferior opponents, takers may have a false sense of confidence in an overvalued and possibly overrated Michigan football team. This is the same club that was shocked in Iowa in 2016 as a three-touchdown favorite. In eerily similar capacity, the Wolverines enter with substantial hype and a deceptively good price to the naked eye. Don’t bite the bait.
