The Purdue Boilermakers took their angst and aggression out on an overmatched Minnesota Golden Gophers outfit last week en route to securing head coach Danny Hope’s squads first conference win of the season. The dominating 45-17 home win and cover saw the Boilers bolt out to a 31-0 lead and never look back. In winning the turnover battle 3-0, the final score is very much so deceiving as Purdue managed a total of just 372 yards in the 28-point victory. QBs Caleb TerBush and Robert Marve completed 18 of 27 overall passes for just 155 yards, but the ground game did go off for 217 total yards on 47 overall carries (4.6 YPC).

The Boilermakers dropped their only road game of the season at Rice; a team that’s only other win of the current college football betting odds season came against a woeful Memphis Tigers outfit. PU’s offensive attack has been very much so one dimensional as it ranks 20th in the country on the ground (215.6 YPG) and 94th through the air (196.6 YPG). For this unit to be successful in this match-up, it will have to find some breathing room via the pass as Penn State has limited opponents to just 93.2 YPG on the ground thus far (#16).

Finally, the Penn State Nittany Lions rewarded their betting backers with the first pointspread cover of the year in the 16-6 win as four-point favorites against the Iowa Hawkeyes. The triumph was the team’s second in Big Ten play, and they’ll be shooting for their second Leaders Division scalp today after just getting over the hump at Indiana a couple weeks ago. JoePa’s kids won the stat battle in a decisive manner last week outgaining Iowa 395-253 while winning both the time of possession (35:54 to 24:06) and turnover (3:1) battles. QB Matt McGloin completed 63 percent of his passes for 133 yards and a TD, while RB Silas Redd gouged the Hawkeyes to the tune of 142 yards on 28 carries (5.1 YPC) in the college football betting win.

The defense has been the only aspect of this program worth mentioning recently, and though the offense made some solid strides last week, it is still the best unit this team offers up. The 250.8 YPG it has allowed thus far is good for the nation’s 4th best mark, while the 10.5 PPG surrendered checks in at #5. With the Boilers possessing a one dimensional offensive attack that’s gone off for 32.6 PPG (#41) against much lesser opposition, the stop unit looks to be on the verge of yet another dominating defensive performance.

College Football Betting Prediction – Purdue has tallied just two wins in these conference rivals L/10 overall meetings dating back to the 1997 season. Penn State pushed as 14-point favorites in last year’s 20-6 win in West Lafayette, and not a whole lot has changed for either program since that meeting. Still, Penn State possesses the better overall defense by a country mile and hasn’t allowed an offensive TD to Purdue in the L/11 quarters played. PSU has been a lousy pointspread investment at home covering on just four of its L/15 opportunities, but Purdue is simply overmatched and will struggle to even score a point in this one. Don’t be shocked if the Nittany Lions post a shutout en route to the home win and cover!
