Purdue at Washington

Washington was upset by Wisconsin, 13-10, in a tough road game last week due to bad weather. The Huskies were 11-point favorites in that game. Washington lost to Wisconsin and thus is capable of getting upset by Purdue. The Huskies do have the Boilermakers at home, but there is a 35% chance of rain, and Washington knows now that any outside possibility of being alive for playoff contention is finished. So the Huskies could be mentally down. Purdue is stepping down in class after losing 34-10 to top-ranked Ohio State last week. The Boilermakers nearly upset Michigan on the road two weeks ago. Purdue lost, 21-16, as 21-point underdogs to the Wolverines. Washington played at Michigan three weeks ago and lost, 24-7. The Boilermakers are idle next week. They should provide an all-out effort not only because of that, but also to end a 14-game road losing streak and take out some of their frustrations on their former coach, Ryan Walters, who is in his first season as Washington's defensive coordinator. Take Purdue.
