As flashy and impressive as Purdue looked in wins over Ohio State and Iowa, this is still a .500 team needing another win to reach a bowl game. reports that could Jeff Brohm could be headed to his alma mater, Louisville, might be a distraction. Wisconsin has been one of the biggest disappointments among Power 5 programs, but this line is still off a bit. There's easily a touchdown of implied value on the Badgers, who should send Purdue to its second straight loss.

Grab the value on the line drop down on the Boilermakers against Wisconsin.

Purdue is a hard team to get a read on. One week the Boilermakers are beating Ohio State 49-20, the next they're looking incompetent on offense during a 23-13 loss to Michigan State. Then they follow that up with a 38-36 shootout win over Iowa, which is followed by a 41-10 loss to Minnesota that nobody could have seen coming. It's because of this lack of consistency that I have trouble trusting the Boilermakers as a 4.5-point favorite over Wisconsin right now. If Minnesota was able to rush for 265 yards against Purdue last week what will Jonathan Taylor and Wisconsin be able to do to this defense?
