How Will Nebraska Respond to First Loss?
The last time we saw the Nebraska Cornhuskers, they fell at home against the Illinois Fighting Illini in a matchup of unbeaten teams in the Big Ten. Nebraska had several chances to put that game away but could not do so, losing in overtime thanks to a disastrous offensive series where they were sent back into their own territory for a portion of their possession in the extra session. After a 3-0 start, Nebraska's resilience will be tested in this game, especially from freshman quarterback Dylan Raiola. Raiola was off to a terrific start before that fourth quarter collapse and it will be interesting to see how he opens this game in the face of that.
Purdue In the Middle Of a Disastrous Start
The Purdue Boilermakers opened their season with a win over FCS Indiana State by a score of 49-0. Since then, they were beaten by double-digits twice in a row by Notre Dame and Oregon State, getting outscored 104-28 over those two contests. Here, Purdue will look to bounce back from those convincing defeats at home against a Nebraska team that has not played a road game yet this season. If the Boilermakers are going to do that, they are going to need to put pressure on Raiola early and often, as we saw the Cornhuskers quarterback struggle when pressured against Illinois a week ago.
Nebraska vs Purdue Best Bet
Our best bet for Saturday's Nebraska vs Purdue matchup is for Purdue to cover the spread as a double-digit home underdog. While Nebraska has looked like the better team for the early portion of this season, they have also benefited from not playing on the road yet in 2024. Here, we like Purdue to make Nebraska experience some road woes for the first time this year, as Purdue could very well win this game outright.
