Washington vs Purdue Prediction
Purdue does nothing well on either side of the ball and could easily get blown out here. Washington is the more talented team. However, this is a lot of points for a Washington team that’s scored 10 or fewer points in 3 of their last 6 games. Washington just scored 10 points against Wisconsin and lost outright as a double-digit favorite. Washington has failed to cover 7 of its last 11 games as a double-digit favorite. Yes, Purdue is buns, but that doesn’t mean we make every opponent a massive favorite. Washington has issues of its own. It’s Purdue or pass for me.
