*8* DESTRUCTION on Purdue.

The Purdue Boilermakers will be a double-digit dog on the road at Northwestern this week, and I think the visitors can give the Wildcats a little more than they bargained for. Northwestern has won a lot of games, but hasn't exactly been blowing teams out. I'll take the points here as this line looks a little inflated.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Road Warriors - The Boilermakers have quietly been a great bet in situations where they are getting points on the road. They are are 5-0-2 ATS in their last 7 road games vs. a team with a winning home record

2. Northwestern Offense - The Wildcats rank 102nd nationally averaging just 23 points per game. It doesn't take much to cover a big number when the favorite can't score points.

3. X-Factor - The Wildcats are 6-13 ATS in their last 19 home games.

Selection: This is a play on the Purdue Boilermakers (8*)
