Coach Brohm’s Boilermakers are one win away from bowl eligibility. They’ve already knocked off one top-5 team on the road and now get a chance to knock off the undefeated Michigan St. Spartans at home.
For the Spartans, it will be a big road game following an even bigger rivalry win against in-state rival Michigan. The Spartans are in control of their destiny in the Big Ten and in the natural title picture. They have a chance for both without losing a game to this point in the season.
Purdue +2.5 underdogs hosting Michigan St.

Fall is starting to hit in Big Ten territory, but the weather looks to be picturesque and very football appropriate. Both programs will have a chance to make a big step forward. Purdue can lock up a bowl and give them a chance to get past six regular season wins in a season under Coach Brohm. The Spartans have a chance to take the reigns of the Big Ten and step onto the national stage.
