Michigan opens as 10-point favorite for B1G opener vs. Purdue
Published:
When the season started, it would’ve been safe to assume that Michigan would be a heavy favorite for its B1G opener against Purdue. While the Wolverines are still favored, the spread isn’t quite as sizeable as those preseason predictions.
Michigan opens as a 10-point favorite for this week’s trip to Ross-Ade Stadium to kick off conference play. The Wolverines are coming off a 29-13 win over Air Force while the Boilermakers clobbered Missouri 35-3 in Week 3.

Under Harbaugh, Michigan has been dominant in B1G openers. In 2015, the Wolverines shutout Maryland 28-0 in College Park. Last year, the maize and blue hammered eventual conference champion Penn State 49-10.
Michigan enters the game 3-0. The Boilermakers are coming off back-to-back to wins for the first time since the 2012 season.
Saturday’s game will kick off at 4 p.m. from West Lafayette.
