The Purdue Boilermakers will bring their three-game winning streak to Indianapolis to take on the undefeated Michigan Wolverines in the Big Ten title game.
Michigan poses a daunting task for the Boilermakers, who have not played a complete team like Michigan all season long. The Wolverines enter this game on a high note following their victory over arch-rival Ohio State last week.

Purdue Boilermakers vs. Michigan Wolverines Best Pick
The Michigan Wolverines were as impressive last week as any team in the country has been all season long. Their offensive line and running game ran the Ohio State Buckeyes out of their house.
The Wolverines' offense is capable of long scoring drives, which not only wears down defenses, but also takes time off the clock. They are just as tough on defense. Purdue will have to throw the ball a ton in this one, as they will be chasing. I question whether the Purdue offense can get anything going on the ground against a dominant Michigan defense. I'm taking the under on the rushing yards for Devin Mockobee of Purdue.
Pick - Devin Mockobee, RB, Purdue Boilermakers, 55.5 Rushing Yards: Under
Purdue Boilermakers vs. Michigan Wolverines Final Prediction
The Michigan Wolverines ran over and through the Ohio State Buckeyes' defense last week. The Wolverines made clutch play after clutch play and pulled away from Ohio State in the 4th quarter. It would be surprising to see a similar result here, as Michigan should have control from start to finish.
J.J. McCarthy wowed me last week by making big-time throws. If the Michigan passing game can play that well, combined with their punishing running game, Michigan may hoist the National Title at the end of the season.
Following a big win at Ohio State, this game screams "trap" game. Michigan is well aware, and even if they don't have their 'A' game, they are a better team in every regard. If the Wolverines want to throw the ball with McCarthy, they will. If they want to grind it out on the ground, they will. Michigan puts on a show in the Big Ten title game. Take the Wolverines.
Michigan Wolverines -17 (-110)
