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.<\/p>\n<h3><a title=\"CBB Picks\" href=\"https:\/\/www.capperspicks.com\/handicappers\/\"><strong>CLICK GRAB OUR BEST Expert Hoops Picks for 2014 GAMBLING season!<\/strong><\/a><\/h3>\n<p>Michigan\u2019s last 3 wins have all come against ranked teams.<\/p>\n<p>The Wolverines have won 21 straight games and 47 of 48 home games against unranked teams.<\/p>\n<p>The Wolverines won both games facing Purdue last season.<\/p>\n<p>Purdue is 0-3 facing top 25 teams this season.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>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.<br \/>\n[ad-6571516]<br \/>\nOne 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.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<h3>Betting Trends<\/h3>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>Purdue is 3-1-1 ATS in their last 5 games against Michigan.<\/p>\n<h3>Jason\u2019s Pick:<\/h3>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Player Injuries <\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Purdue<\/strong><br \/>\nNONE<br \/>\n<strong>Michigan<\/strong><br \/>\n[F] 12\/27\/2013 &#8211; Mitch McGary out indefinitely ( Back )<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Purdue vs Michigan Betting!
