Pete is coming to E-Town! Not creepy at all.
We’re still doing this. Northwestern (1-7, 0-6 Big Ten) is actually favored for the first time since UNLV as they ready to play host to Purdue (3-6, 2-4). But will the Boilermakers’ injuries get the better of them, or will it be the Wildcats who fail to capitalize on a winnable 11 a.m. home tilt?
Here’s how our staff sees things playing out on Parents Weekend in Evanston:
Joe Weinberg: Northwestern 10, Purdue 9
Lake the fucking posts.
Noah Coffman: Purdue 17, Northwestern 16
I really want to pick the Wildcats this week. I even think they’ll score a touchdown! But Aidan O’Connell, in limited action so far this season has seemed pretty solid for a third-string quarterback. He will outplay his fellow Aidan (or Hunter Johnson, we still don’t have an injury report) and Purdue’s complete lack of a run game won’t be enough to sink them.
Get ready for some impressive Charlie Kuhbander field goal kicking, though.
Claire Kuwana: Purdue 13, Northwestern 7
Even with an injury-ridden offense, Purdue will still manage to produce coming off their win over Nebraska. Northwestern may score their first touchdown in over a month. I’m feeling optimistic.
Avery Zimmerman: Northwestern 17, Purdue 10
Northwestern finally gets some takeaways and capitalizes with….. touchdowns!
Matthew Albert: Northwestern 9, Purdue 6
Go ‘Cats. Cancer sucks.
Jacob Brown: Purdue 17, Northwestern 7
With NU’s postseason hopes dashed, and Johnson nursing another injury, I hope the coaching staff will stay away from risking his health (but who knows at this point?) Aidan Smith will throw a touchdown, but Aidan O’Connell and the Boilermakers will dominate time of possession, and win the game easily.
Daniel Olinger: Purdue 17, Northwestern 3
