The Purdue Boilermakers (1-2) host the Nebraska Cornhuskers (3-1) on Saturday afternoon in a Big Ten clash.
Purdue lost last week to Oregon State, falling 38-21 on the road. QB Hudson Card was held to just 56 yards on 7-for-17 attempts, so he’ll need to be much more effective versus the Cornhuskers.
Nebraska was defeated by Illinois last Saturday, losing 31-24 at home despite coming into the matchup as heavy favorites.
Will the Boilermakers defend their home turf, or will the Cornhuskers get back on track?

Prediction
Both teams are coming off of disappointing losses, and the shared theme was offensive inconsistency. Looking at Nebraska, they’ve had three of their four games this year go under, and that can be attributed to their stellar defensive unit. Purdue has had their recent games go over, but it’s hard to see them scoring many points versus Nebraska after the Boilermakers totaled just 319 yards versus an inferior Oregon State. We’re going with the alternate under here at plus money.
Final Pick
Alternate Under 46.5 (+104)
