3 Michigan vs Purdue Bets: ML, Over/Under and Prop Picks

1. Purdue ATS -4

Purdue will be eager to return to action after squandering a 16-point lead in a home loss to Ohio State as the Buckeyes scored 45 second-half points.

The Boilermakers will look to get Braden Smith going as the junior guard is just 5-for-19 from 3-point range over the last five games. He flirted with a triple-double the last time he faced Michigan with 11 points, eight rebounds and 11 assists.

The top four scorers for Michigan played elsewhere last season so this is a hard game to figure when it comes to the college basketball predictions. Purdue was 0-11-1 against the spread in its last 12 meetings with Michigan before cruising to a 99-67 win the last time the Wolverines came to Mackey Arena. Don’t look for a similar score but the Boilermakers looking to improve on a 5-4 ATS mark as the home favorite this season.

Purdue has won three consecutive games against Michigan with each of those games landing over the total.

Although the presence of 7-footers Vladislav Goldin, who is averaging 26 points over his last four games, and Danny Wolf could give the Boilermakers troubles now that Zach Edey is in the NBA, go with Purdue to take care of business.

2. Michigan vs Purdue Over 151

This is the third meeting in a row between Michigan and Purdue with a total in the 150s. Michigan has scored at least 80 points in 10 straight games.

It has been a little more of a grind for Purdue with 69, 65 and 70 points in its last three outings.

Both Michigan and Purdue are in the top 15 in offensive efficiency according to the Pomeroy basketball rankings but are also in the top 30 in defensive efficiency.

When looking at college basketball betting trends, the game landed over in five of the last six times when Michigan played at Purdue and we like that to happen again on Friday.

3. Trey Kaufman-Renn Under 22.5 Points (-108)

Trey Kaufman-Renn is doing his best to fill the void left by Edey’s departure. While he is not approaching Edey’s rebounding and blocked shots numbers, the 6-foot-9 junior matched his season-high with 26 points in the loss to Ohio State. Over his last three games, Kaufman-Renn is averaging 22.7 points per game.

He may find the lane clogged a bit in this game so when making college basketball player prop bets, go with Kaufman-Renn to go under 22.5 points.
