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
Friday’s matchup has all the makings of a trap game, but Oregon’s offense has been red-hot all season long regardless of the opponent. Quarterback Dillon Gabriel has thrown for 1,790 yards with a 13-3 TD-INT ratio over six games for the Ducks, recording at least two touchdown passes in each of Oregon’s wins. Against Ohio State, Gabriel completed 23-34 passes for 341 yards with two TDs and zero interceptions.
Oregon’s defense ranks seventh in the Big Ten with 297.3 average yards allowed per game. It will face a Purdue offense that ranks 14th in the conference in average yards per game (340) and points per game (23.7). See who to back at SportsLine.
