ESPN's FPI predicts the outcome of Purdue at Wisconsin
The B1G West is set for a big matchup as Purdue is set to go on the road to take on Wisconsin in Week 7. This game could lead to big implications to help decide the west.
ESPN’s FPI gives Wisconsin a 57.8% chance of defeating Purdue at home, despite having the worst record. ESPN isn’t the only media outlet giving Wisconsin the favor, as Wisconsin is currently a 2.5-point favorite, according to FanDuel.
Wisconsin is coming off a 34-28 road loss to Michigan State in Week 6, continuing its tough season. The Badgers are 3-4 through the first 7 games of the season. Wisconsin is set to play its 3rd game without Paul Chryst as head coach after being fired after Wisconsin’s 34-10 home loss to Illinois.
Purdue started the season 1-2 with close losses to Penn State and Syracuse. The Boilermakers have since won 4 consecutive games in a row, with their latest win being a 43-37 home over Nebraska.
