The Northwestern Wildcats perfect season came to an end last week as the Michigan State Spartans beat them 37-20 at Ryan Field Stadium. The Wildcats, who turned the ball over three times in their first loss of the year, have a shot to get back on track against another BIG 10 foe this Saturday. The Purdue Boilermakers will visit Evanston, IL this weekend for a 12:00pm ET kickoff against Northwestern.
College football betting odds at BetUS.com have the Wildcats as a -4 home favorite.
Northwestern statistically dominated MIchigan State last weekend (459 yards to the Spartans 297), but they could not overcome quarterback C.J. Bacher 's two interceptions . Bacher has been up and down in his senior season, throwing seven touchdowns to eight interceptions. His ball security will be critical for the Wildcats going forward as they get into the heart of their Big 10 schedule.
Purdue started their 2008 season with some promise, winning two of their first three games, but they have since dropped three in a row and now sit at 2-4. On a positive note, the typically flimsy Boilermakers defense played well in last week's16-3 loss to Ohio State. Purdue held the Buckeyes to 222 total yards , but were undone by two turnovers.
College Football Betting Trend: The Under is 5-2 the last five years when Northwestern played as home team coming off a home loss.
