I looked at the match ups and figured an 8-6 win for the BIG.

 

[FirstDownB]

I tend to agree with their picks. Maybe flip Nebraska/BC for 8-6 ACC.
A 7-7 tie is probably best case realistically this year.

Could be right, Louisville is a poor rebounding team by stats so Purdue might have a shot here. (of course they haven't played us yet)

As usual all about shooting by Purdue....somewhat bad news here for Purdue is LOU is 15th in the country in FG % defense. But it is early...(& again they haven't played us yet)

Monday
-Illinois @ Wake Forest = Wake Forest
.

I will take ILL here as they are undefeated and WF has only managed 2 wins over lower level teams.

Huge opportunity for Purdue and the rest of the B1G to get some resume wins before conference play picks up.

Would love to see some middle of the pack teams like Maryland, Wisconsin, or Michigan steal a road win. Without that it is tough to see the B1G winning this.

They haven't played us, and they also haven't played anyone in the top 150.

Duke -29

Duke -29

I would take Duke to cover that line haha. They are incredible.

 

[Dakota Girl]

They haven't played us, and they also haven't played anyone in the top 150.

Hoping this is advantageous for us. There is a shock value the first time you lace them up against a real opponent. We learned that last week for sure.

that and iu sucks

 

[Boilersss]

that and iu sucks

That too, but I would pick duke by 10+ over any Big Ten team. I realize they only beat MSU by 7, but they played most of the game without the best player in the country.
