Reasons Purdue can cover the spread:
Purdue aims to capitalize on Oregon’s emotional letdown after a high-stakes game and a short travel schedule. This season, Big Ten teams have struggled, going 4-9 against the spread and 3-10 straight up when traveling across two time zones, a scenario the Ducks face after their narrow win over the Buckeyes.
Despite their loss in Week 7, Purdue showcased one of its best performances this season. The Boilermakers overcame a 12-point deficit late in the fourth quarter against Illinois and briefly held a three-point lead with under a minute remaining. Redshirt freshman Ryan Browne stepped up in place of the injured Hudson Card, throwing for 297 yards and three touchdowns, along with a team-high 118 rushing yards.
Reasons Oregon can cover the spread:
The Oregon defense faced a formidable challenge against the Buckeyes but is expected to have a more manageable task against Purdue’s struggling offense. The Ducks rank seventh in the Big Ten, allowing an average of 297.3 yards per game, whereas Purdue’s offense is last in both average yards per game (340) and points per game (23.7).
Oregon also benefits from a more seasoned quarterback in Dillon Gabriel. The senior, a Heisman Trophy contender, has thrown at least two touchdowns in each of the Ducks’ six victories and surpassed 300 passing yards in two games. In Week 7, he threw for 341 yards, registering two touchdowns with no interceptions against a top-ranked defense and is now facing the lowest-ranked defense.
