Michigan moved to 6-2 on the season after taking down rival Michigan State this past weekend. The Wolverines still have everything in front of them, but they have to take care of business in each and every game from here on out.

After beating the Spartans, Michigan will now put its attention to Purdue. The Boilermakers have yet to win a Big Ten game, and Barry Odom is going through growing pains coming into the Big Ten. With the Boilermakers traveling to Ann Arbor, the oddsmakers aren't giving them too much of a chance on Saturday.

Wolverines' Odds vs. Purdue

Purdue, which hasn't one a Big Ten game yet this season, isn't getting any love entering Ann Arbor this weekend. According to the advanced analytics, Michigan has a 93.8% chance of taking down the Boilermakers. The Wolverines have won their past two games after losing to USC on the road.

Purdue has struggled to make much happen offensively, and it could be another long night for Barry Odom's squad when they take on Wink Martindale's defense.
