Iowa -17.5 O/O 47.5

The Boilermakers (3-6) visit Kinnick to try to play spoilers to the Hawkeyes (7-2) playoff chances.

Purdue has lost three straight games, although all the games have been close. A month ago they did blow out The Gophers.

Iowa is playing some good football. Classic Hawkeye football. This game has a classic letdown feel to it though. I’m thinking 23-16 hawks

Purdue has given up more than 30 points 7 times this year. Iowa has scored more than 30 points against P4 opponents only once this year. Which trend holds?

Not under the radar, they just have a certain conference to promote.

In case anyone missed this:

The drive from Purdue (West Lafayette, Indiana) to Iowa City is approximately 325 miles and takes about 5 hours under normal traffic conditions.

I think Odum taking over the defense will help some for Purdue. And Iowa still isn’t some sort of offensive juggernaut. Not consistent enough yet to assume a win
any p4 team. And Iowa hasn’t faced this type of offense or Qb.

Cold weather. If Iowa struggles to run then it’s gonna be close.

20-17 type of game

I would think Iowa would be sky high for this one and poised to blow the Boilers all the way back to West Lafayette by something like 52-13. But then I remember the stubborn, naive old man chewing gum on the Iowa sidelines and figure maybe 31-17.

We were doing great last week until Hank threw the INT and the Boogeyman decided to carry the ball like a loaf of bread. :)

Turnovers are killers and allow a team you should beat to stay in the game and maybe steal the game. Like this one....

3 interceptions, 1 fumble lost and a blocked punt were too much to overcome at Minnesota.

FAST FACT:

Just heard this on the OSU vs NW game. Remember seeing the NW QB having so much trouble with his helmet? They said the NW QB got hit so hard it changed the channel on the headset and had to have his helmet replaced. GO HAWKS!!!
