Purdue vs. Michigan odds: Current line, win probability, final score prediction, how to watch

The Purdue Boilermakers are making the trip to Ann Arbor to take on the Michigan Wolverines on Tuesday night for what should be an exciting Big Ten game. This comes with less than a month left in the regular season and just one game separating these two teams that sit in the top three of the Big Ten standings.

This is actually the second meeting between Purdue and Michigan this season. In their first game, Purdue dominated at home, winning 91-64. That kicked off a four-game when streak for the Boilermakers. The Wolverines, meanwhile, bounced back to win four straight games since then. It’s that game that has separated these two in the Big Ten race. Purdue is currently first while Michigan is tied for second.

Going into this game, the experts are expecting a close battle. So, here’s a look at the odds, current betting line, win probability, and final score predictions for this Big Ten battle.
