4* BIG TEN BOOKIE BEATDOWN

Michigan vs. Purdue, 01/24/2012 19:00 EDT, Score: 66 - 64

Point Spread: -5/-105 Purdue

Sportsbook: 5Dimes

Result: Loss

I believe their is great value on the Boilermakers -5 at home against the Wolverines. A lot of people will be afraid to back Purdue after losing 58-83 at Michigan State on Saturday, but that result really wasn't that surprising. Because of plane troubles the Boilermakers didn't arrive in East Lansing until two hours before tip-off!

I expect Purdue to come out ready to take it to Michigan, as they don't want to fall to 4-4 in conference play. Michigan isn't a very good road team at all. They just lost at Arkansas on Saturday and they fell 59-75 in their last Big Ten road game at Iowa.

Purdue is 14-5 ATS as a home favorite or pick over the last 2 seasons and are a perfect 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games following a SU loss of more than 20 points! BET THE BOILERMAKERS!
