Purdue 2016: Straight Up: 3-9 ATS: 5-7 Total: 9-3

The 2017 college football season always opens with a few marque power conference matchups. This is not one of them. The Purdue Boilermakers are Big Ten bottom feeders who just can’t seem to climb up the ranks and challenge for the conference title. After another dismal season in 2016 they went and got Western Kentucky coach Jeff Brohm. The Boilermakers offense was one of the youngest in the Big Ten last season. With the majority of the offense back there is hope that Brohm, who is known for high powered offenses and preaches a fast tempo will make Purdue more competitive this season. On the other side you have arguably the marque player in the country in 2016 Heisman winner Lamar Jackson. The Cardinals started fast and fell off the rails a little in the end but with Jackson back for what will probably be his final season they look to make another run at the ACC crown.

For this RideTheHotHand free pick we are going after the total of 67.5. With Lamar Jackson putting up video game like numbers last season the Cardinals were held under 30 points only 3 times last season. Two of those games were against Louisville and Houston, two of the better defenses in the country. Purdue has no such defense and will struggle to keep Jackson under 50. We have confidence that Brohm will pick up the pace when Purdue is on offense and we think the Boilermakers will be able to score some points of their own. All signs point to a shootout in this one and we look for a game played in the high 70’s. THE PICK: OVER 67.5
