Analysis
I'm on Michigan minus the points. The Wolverines had their chances to finish the blowout over Wisconsin but almost blew a 15-point lead down the stretch. It was yet another ATS loss for U-M when laying big points but they've been just fine when the line has been reasonable. Purdue couldn't have asked for a more favorable tourney schedule, beating a weak Northwestern team, followed by a game against a Nebraska team that doesn't match up well with the Boilermakers, then handing UCLA a loss. But Purdue can be had on defense and Michigan is arguably the best team in the country with fantastic metrics at both ends. I believe U-M will open up a lead and maintain it in this one. I'm on Michigan minus the points. Thanks and best of luck! JB.
