The Purdue Boilermakers almost pulled an upset against 16th-ranked Louisville in Week 1, losing 35-28 as a 25-point underdog. The Ohio Bobcats meanwhile had little trouble to dismiss Hampton, winning 59-0 as a 36-point favorite. I think the results set up a good spot to back Purdue here Friday night.

The Boilermakers will be all ready to rumble and record the first W of the season in front of the home town crowd and they're 9-4 ATS in their last 13 games following a straight up loss. They have two capable quarterbacks in Elijah Sindelar and David Blough who both got time on the field in the season premiere.

The Bobcats will roll into Ross-Ade Stadium filled with confidence after last week's blowout victory, but this will be a completely different ballgame.

My selection is an 8* play on Purdue Boilermakers.
