Nebraska +5' over PURDUE Purdue is 3-1 ATS in this series as B10 rivals, including covering 3 straight. This is a crucial game for both schools in their quest to become bowl eligible. Nebraska enters fresh off a much needed bye after taking on arguably the top 2 teams in the conference in B2B weeks. The Blackshirts held their 3 prior foes to their season lows in yards. QB Lee is completing 60% with a 6-1 ratio his L/3 games and Purdue has just our #68 ranked pass eff D. The Boilermakers enter off B2B misleading finals on the road and continue to use a 2 QB rotation. They were outgained by 273 yards but only lost at UW by 8 and outgained Rutgers by 257 yards but lost by 2. This is a huge step down in competition for Nebraska. The ‘Huskers are 16-6-1 ATS away from Lincoln and Purdue is 5-15 ATS home vs FBS foes. We’ll call for the ‘Huskers to pull the outright upset and make this our ‘Underdog Play of the Week! FORECAST: Nebraska by 4
