Notes

Post Game

Purdue improves their position. It's still a long fight for the West Division, but a win helps. The TeamRivalry pick was close on this one.

Pre Game

If Purdue wins the next two and Wisconsin loses the next two, Purdue could win the West Division, but that's a pretty big ask. Still, Purdue (6-4) has the edge over Northwestern (3-7) this week.

TeamRivalry.com pick: Purdue 35 / Northwestern 12
