Final Michigan-Purdue Prediction & Pick

Michigan is having a rough year, and while they did get a win over Ohio State, overall they have not played well. Purdue has had just two slip-ups this year but is one of the best teams in the nation. Zach Edey has been dominating as of late and will continue to do so in this game. This should be an easy win for Purdue, as no one on Michigan will be able to contend with Edey inside.
