Northwestern at Purdue Football Picks


Written October 2, 2009 by Jack Jones

I always love the early games on Saturday morning since there is a lot of Big Ten action.  Not a lot of football handicappers have zoned in on the Northwestern at Purdue college football odds, but a few see value here with Purdue favored by 8-points.  If you are going to be doing any football betting on this game or others this weekend, then take a look at the 20% signup bonus offered by our friends at Bookmaker, one of the best in the business.  Of course you will have a better chance of winning those bets if you are taking the same plays as our experts are with their football picks.

Evan Altemus has a big card for Saturday with his all inclusive 11-play package.  One of those games includes the spread of the Northwestern at Purdue game so if you want to cash in on this Big Ten battle, get signed up for this large subscription and build your bankroll.

Bob Wingerter is 5-1 on his last 6 on the college gridiron, and he is taking Purdue -7.5 with his free football pick for Saturday.  Let’s take a look at the reasons why.  What do first-season head coaches point for? The Notre Dame game, among other things, which Purdue covered last Saturday night. Among other things they point for is their first homecoming game. This one comes with Northwestern having a lot of new faces and injury absences from their defense, most notably in the front seven, at a time when Purdue has made strides in its run game, a departure from the old regime, which was basketball on grass that didn’t last. Last season’s meeting spun out of control for Purdue. They trailed it by more than 30 points at one time. The starting QB Curtis Painter was yanked because he stanked, then the back-up Joey Elliot separated his shoulder and could not continue in Painter’s place, so the disgraced Painter had to go back in and mop up his own mess. Elliot is now the man for the Boilermakers, who are deep at the running back spot and will not have to worry about the opposing passing of C.J. Bacher anymore, who beat them with 4 TD tosses last season. Mike Kafka, this season’s Northwestern QB, has been throwing for big numbers but it’s a lot of yards and not enough points. Given the weather forecast he might be throwing a wet ball in this game, and that ought to get interesting. TAKE PURDUE MINUS HERE.
