Purdue Struggling Mightily So Far This Season

This season has been nothing short of a nightmare for the Purdue Boilermakers. They are 1-4 overall and 0-2 in the Big Ten after two straight losses to Nebraska and Wisconsin. Purdue's lone win this season has come against an FCS team in Indiana State, while they have lost by double-digits to all four of the FBS opponents they have played this year. If that is going to change this week, Purdue has to do more damage offensively, as they go into this week with an average of just 11 points per game against their four FBS opponents to this point in the season.

Illinois Glad to Be Back at Home

Illinois is ranked 23rd in the country going into this week's Purdue vs Illinois matchup. The Fighting Illini are 4-1 overall and 1-1 in the Big Ten after splitting a pair of conference road games against Nebraska and Penn State. This week, the Illini will play their first home game in conference play and their first home game in nearly a month overall. Now that they are back at home, the Illinois defense will look to continue to shine, as they have allowed more than 21 points in just one game so far this year.

Purdue vs Illinois Betting Prediction

It is hard to see Purdue doing enough scoring to cover the spread in this Purdue vs Illinois matchup in college football. Look for the Illinois Fighting Illini to cover the spread at home by both locking down the Purdue offense and by putting up a decent amount of points against a Purdue team that has given up over 35 points in three of their last four games.
