Outside of a loss on the road against Penn State, this Iowa team has been very good this season. Our edge in this game is with Iowa’s defense, which currently ranks top 10 in the nation. PFF has Iowa graded as the 2ndd best defense in the nation, behind only Alabama. The strength of Purdue is on the offensive side of the ball. Purdue has been known to pull off upsets in these spots over the last couple of years. However, they had Aiden O’Connell during those upsets that everyone remembers. O’Connell was 24 years old last season playing college. He took full advantage of the eligibility rules. O’Connell actually started for the Las Vegas Raiders last Sunday. Hudson Card is good, but he’s not Aiden. We expect the better defense to prevail on their home field. Purdue’s defense has given up 35+ points in 4 of their 5 games. Iowa’s offense should be able to muster up enough points to let their defense do the rest. Our wager is on the Iowa moneyline.
