- Contrarian on Wisconsin
The Badgers are coming off a 20-14 win over Army as 14-point favorites. The Boilermakers are coming off a 24-7 win over Iowa as 11-point underdogs. Beware of the letdown with Purdue. The Boilermakers are off a big win over second-ranked Iowa, so this has all the makings of a letdown game. They don’t run the ball well, but they have a great passing attack, but they will have a hard time moving the ball against the Badgers, who have the sixth-best pass defense in the nation. Even though Wisconsin hasn’t thrown the ball efficiently this season, they have been great on the ground, racking up over 200 yards per game, so expect them to pound the ball on the ground against a Purdue defense that isn’t very good against the run. Chez Mellusi leads the team with 543 rushing yards and three touchdowns, while Danny Davis III leads the team with 241 receiving yards. Wisconsin has done well defensively, giving up 19.3 points per game. Wisconsin is 15-6 ATS in their last 21 games as a road favorite. With Wisconsin winning the last 15 games between the two teams, go with the Badgers to cover the spread here.
