Eastern Kentucky Colonels vs Purdue Boilermakers prediction
This is a look ahead spot for the Purdue Boilermakers with the Big Ten schedule soon kicking off and that includes a trip to Maryland next week. With that said, the Eastern Kentucky Colonels aren’t winning games, and they’re 1-8 ATS on the season. That’s really all I need to see. Eastern Kentucky just allowed 111 points to Alabama a week ago. Purdue should have a field day in this game. I’ll lay the points with the Boilermakers at home.
