Is Purdue about to go on a winning streak? So far it looks like Nebraska, Rutgers, and Illinois (in that order) are the three worst teams in the conference. Yes, they have a combined three league wins between them, but Nebraska has beaten Rutgers and Illinois while the Scarlett Knights just handled Illinois quite easily in Champaign. Those are Purdue’s next three games and the Boilers are probably going to be favored in all three. We already are against Rutgers by 8 points.
Obviously we are conditioned to not count wins before they are secure, but this is another crucial stretch for coach Brohm’s team.
