Top Week 8 college football expert predictions
One of Sallee's top college football picks for Week 8: He's predicting that Purdue (+2.5) covers as a slight road underdog at Wisconsin. Purdue has lost seven consecutive road games at Wisconsin, but the Boilermakers are poised to pick up a revenge win on Saturday afternoon. They are riding a four-game winning streak that includes upset wins at then-No. 21 Minnesota and Maryland earlier this month.
Wisconsin has been one of the most disappointing teams in the country, losing four of its last six games. The Badgers have only covered the spread three times in their last 10 games, and they are coming off a double-overtime loss to Michigan State. It will be difficult for them to recover from that setback emotionally, especially now that their season goals have gone out the window. Purdue has covered the spread in four of its last six road games, so it is comfortable playing away from home.
"Styles make fights, and Purdue's offense -- led by last week's Big Ten Co-Offensive Player of the Week Aidan O'Connell under center -- will dictate the style of this one," Sallee told SportsLine. See what else Sallee likes at SportsLine.
