Purdue is itching to get past the loss in Week 1.
The Boilermakers appeared to be in control for much of their trip to Nevada. Unfortunately, things slipped away late before losing on a field goal to the Wolfpack. Now, they return home to face Vanderbilt.
Purdue enters once again as the favorite, this time as a seven-point favorite over the Commodores. While that didn’t help in Week 1, predictions for Week 2 are more favorable. However, the game is still expected to be extremely close.
According to the computer prediction put out by Odds Shark, Purdue is expected to win the game by the slimmest of margins. The Boilermakers are predicted to win by a score of 30.2-29.4, essentially making the game a tossup:
Hopefully, that is good news for Jeff Brohm and company. Though the margin is much closer, it’s worth noting that the computer prediction for Week 1 was nearly spot on. Kickoff for Saturday’s game is set for 12 pm EST on BTN.
