Purdue Boilermakers Analysis

Purdue Boilermakers have a power ranking of 99 and are #71 for offense (scoring an average of 29.50 per game) and #95 for defense (giving up an average of 28.00 points per game). They have an overall record of 1-2 (1-2 ATS). Wisconsin has a record of 0-3 (1-2 ATS) in their last 3 matchups against Purdue. Linebacker Kydran Jenkins, who leads the team with three sacks, is in jeopardy to miss the next game due to lower leg injury. The passing game has been able to move the offense, with 275 yards per game (third in Big Ten) and 825 yards and one interception from Quarterback Hudson Card in 110 attempts. Head coach Ryan Walters mentioned that Card is comfortable and does not get rattled under pressure.

Wisconsin Badgers Streak Continues: Showing No Sign of Slowing Down against Purdue Boilermakers

The Badgers have gone 7-3 straight up, and an impressive 10-0 ATS over the course of the last 10 matchups. Purdue has only been within a field goal of winning once in that time frame, and the most recent game ended with a 17-point lead for Wisconsin. The Boilermakers are coming off a 15-point loss to Syracuse, and Card was in trouble with pressure in that game. Wisconsin looks to surpass that pressure with their strong 5.7 yards per carry and 14th ranking in the country. This goes against Purdue's defense with their 3.9 yards per carry, and six touchdowns allowed on the ground, second most in the conference. With a steady 16-game winning streak, Wisconsin is expected to keep continuing this trend. Thus, taking the Badgers and their points is recommended.
