Opening betting odds released for 2022 Big Ten Championship: Michigan vs. Purdue

After defeating Ohio State 45-23 Saturday afternoon in Columbus, the Michigan Wolverines officially advanced to their second consecutive Big Ten Championship Game. In their way of a second straight conference championship — the Purdue Boilermakers, who advanced after Iowa lost on Friday and they took down Indiana on Saturday.
