P.J. Fleck and the Minnesota Gophers look to rebound on Saturday vs Purdue, after suffering their first loss of the season last week against Maryland 31-24. The Gophers are 3-1 overall and 0-1 in the Big Ten, and an 0-2 start in conference play would be a big disappointment. The Gophers are rare underdogs against the Boilermakers, although most sportsbooks have the spread for both teams at (-110) for the time being. My Top Sportsbooks does a good job explaining how the spread can move between now and Saturday.
Purdue is coming off a bye and it will be an emotional atmosphere as the program will honor the recent passing of their legendary coach Joe Tiller.
