Northwestern +1 at Purdue
NU had been playing well against their level of opponent. They ran into a couple of better teams the last two weeks in Iowa and Wisconsin and looked terrible. I think they return to shutting down opponents with the step down in competition. It's an away game but I've traveled farther to get frozen custard in wisconsin as they will to play this game. The lowest point total Purdue has given up since they played FCS opponent on opening day is 28 points. They may hold NU under that number but probably not by much. NU has held their lower end opponents under 20. So this is a game where first to 21 wins, and I think that will be Northwestern
