Three years ago, Purdue head coach Jeff Brohm was a hot property. When the Boilermakers upset Ohio State on prime-time ABC, it was seen as a return to glory. However, the past two seasons have been a struggle. Brohm’s stock bounced back after a big NCAA Football betting win at Iowa on Saturday. In like manner, Wisconsin coach Paul Chryst suffered through inconsistency. A slow start and stalled offense frustrated fans and gamblers. Purdue hosts Wisconsin on Saturday in a more dramatic game than meets the eye. Bowl prospects are at stake for both teams.

Wisconsin Badgers at Purdue Boilermakers SBG Odds Overview
Gamblers may take a flier on resurgent Purdue after their impressive win at Iowa. However, there is the sportsbook concern of a letdown spot for this game. Gamblers remain concerned about the plodding Wisconsin offense. But the Badgers remain the better brand with the masses. Wise Guys normally like the price break of Wisconsin on the road. Counter to that is the Badgers’ inability to score. Thus, covering the spread is a Wisconsin problem this season. Purdue won’t be an overlay based on the Wisconsin brand. Sharps will give the Boilermakers plenty of consideration as well.
