Western Michigan vs. Purdue

Western Michigan finished the season at 7-5, and will tangle with Purdue in the Little Caesar's Bowl. The Boilermakers at 6-6 just made it, and it required a win on the road in their last game at Indiana to get here. Purdue struggled all season on offense failing to top the 27 point mark in nine games. The lack of consistent offense eventually took its toll on the defense which started the season allowing 20ppg in their first six, but finished allowing 35.4ppg in the last five. Purdue barely threw for 2,300 yards all season, and at the same time had no back that gained as much as 700 yards. Western Michigan can move the chains, as they put up 38 or more points in seven of their games this season. They have a QB in Alex Carder that threw 28 TD passes and over 3,400 yards, and a reciever in Jordan White that caught 128 passes this season for over 1,600 yards and 16 TD's. The duo will be the most dangerous combination on the field for this one. The Broncos have covered eight of their last 11 and are a perfect 7-0 ATS after passing for 280+ in their last game. Purdue has not covered any of their last eight played on field turf as they don't have the speed to take advantage of it. Buy the half point to +3 if you can, otherwise play at +2.5 with low juice. Western Michigan is the play here.
