Why Purdue can cover
The Boilermakers will try to take advantage of an Oregon side that is coming down from a very emotional Big Ten game and travelling on short rest. Big Ten teams are 4-9 ATS and 3-10 straight up when travelling at least two time zones this season, which the Ducks will be doing less than a week after beating the Buckeyes by just one point.
Purdue is also coming off of one of its stronger performances of the season despite losing in overtime. The Boilermakers rallied out of a 12-point hole late in the fourth quarter against the Fighting Illini in Week 7 and held a three-point lead with less than a minute left to play. Redshirt freshman Ryan Browne impressed in place of injured quarterback Hudson Card, throwing for 297 yards and three touchdowns while also rushing for a team-high 118 yards.

Why Oregon can cover
The Oregon defense faced a tough task in limiting the Buckeyes in Week 7 and should have an easier time restricting the Purdue offense. Oregon defense ranks seventh in the Big Ten with 297.3 average yards allowed per game, while Purdue’s offense ranks 14th in both average yards per game (340) and points per game (23.7).
Oregon also has a more experienced quarterback in Dillon Gabriel. The senior and Heisman Trophy hopeful has thrown at least two touchdowns in each of the Ducks’ six wins this season and has eclipsed 300 passing yards twice. He threw for 341 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions against the conference’s top-ranked defense in Week 7 and is about to go up against the worst-ranked defense in Week 8.
