5*
(NCAAF) Northwestern vs. Purdue,
Point Spread: -1.50 | -110.00 Purdue (Home)
Result: Loss
My first College Football 5* BEST BET pick goes on Thursday with Purdue.
Northwestern has had their ups and downs, but I feel Purdue is the much better team here.
They are playing at home and with triple revenge.

Purdue was a surprise team in its first year under Jeff Brohm, ending with an impressive bowl win over Arizona. The Boilermakers have most of their key players back and should be even more explosive on offense this season. Northwestern is in rebuilding mode as it loses most key contributors led by record-setting RB Justin Jackson. Veteran QB Clayton Thorson is questionable with an injury on Thursday and doesn't have a lot of playmakers around him. Purdue gets a big win here and cover!
