Prediction
Notre Dame choked last week against Northern Illinois, and it’s safe to assume their playoff hopes are gone. Purdue smoked Indiana State, and despite weaker competition, they played well on both sides of the ball.
Don’t pay attention to the lines in this one. Purdue is better than Northern Illinois. Notre Dame’s confidence level is non-existent, and I see the Boilermakers adding insult to injury. I am calling the upset here and rolling with Purdue to get the win.
Final Pick
Purdue Boilermakers ML (+285)
