ATS Matchup Stats | Gambling Insight!

This season Michigan is 8-1 at home and Purdue is 2-2 on the road.

In their last games the Michigan beat Michigan State 80-75 and Purdue lost to Wisconsin 72-58.

Purdue has lost 2 straight and they are a big double-digit underdog facing 10th ranked Michigan on the road. Michigan is coming off a HUGE road win over, then, 3rd ranked Michigan State and overall they have won 9 straight. The Wolverines are in first place in the Big 10 and they are the only team in the conference without a Big 10 loss.

Michigan’s last 3 wins have all come against ranked teams.

The Wolverines have won 21 straight games and 47 of 48 home games against unranked teams.

The Wolverines won both games facing Purdue last season.

Purdue is 0-3 facing top 25 teams this season.

For the Boilermakers to have any shot at the big upset tonight they will need good games from their 2 leading scorers in Terone Johnson (13.4 ppg) and Ronnie Johnson (10.6 ppg). These are the only 2 Purdue players that are averaging in double figures and they are both guards. If Michigan can keep these guys in check and not allow them to shoot a high FG% they should easily win this game.

The Wolverines have 3 players averaging in double figures led by Nik Stauskas (18.5 ppg). He has been playing well shooting over 50% from the floor in 4 of his last 5 games. 2nd leading scorer Glenn Robinson III struggled in the big Michigan State win and he looks to bounce back in this game.

One concern for Michigan is that leading Mitch McGary is out with a back injury. Purdue is a solid team on the glass ranking 18th in the nation in boards per game. They must get some offensive rebounds in this game and easy buckets on put-backs.

Purdue does have 13 wins on the season, but they are only 3-4 in Big 10 play. They could really use a win in this game to pad their Big Dance resume. They host Michigan late in February.

Betting Trends

Purdue is 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games overall, 4-1 ATS in their last 5 road games vs. a team with a winning home record, and they have an Under record of 5-0 in their last 5 games.

Michigan is 4-0-1 ATS in their last 5 home games, 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games overall, and they have an Over record of 4-1 in their last 5 games.

Purdue is 3-1-1 ATS in their last 5 games against Michigan.

Jason’s Pick:

Purdue last loss against ranked Wisconsin was on the road and they lost by 14 points. I see the same thing happening in this game, as Michigan will easily win and home and cover the big spread.
