Minnesota vs Purdue College Football Odds: The Golden Gophers (6-1) took down Illinois on the road in their last game, 27-20. DeLeon Eskridge rushed for 124 yards and 2 TD's. When the Gophers take the field this week, they will do so as a ranked team for the first time in three years at #24. The last time the Gophers appeared in the AP Top 25 was Oct. 9, 2005, when they were 5-1 following a 23-20 victory at Michigan. They covered 5 straight and own one of most improved defenses in the nation.

"We're pleased," Brewster said. "But polls mean nothing now. At the end of the year, let's see where we're at." "We've set the bar high now," said receiver Eric Decker, whose 59 receptions lead the Big Ten.
The Boilermakers are (2-5) on a 4 game losing streak with their recent loss last week on the road to Northwestern, 48-26. QB Curtis Painter was 26/41 for 273 yards, 1 TD but 3 INT's. On the season he has thrown 6 TD's and 9 INT's. Not sure Purdue is capable of moving ball consistently, considering Boiler QB Painter has been a disappointment in ’08. The only bright spot from last week's game was that Kory Sheets had 168 yards rushing on only 17 carries and 2 TD's. I think this game could be tough for Minnesota and this could be a small upset this week.
College Football Odds: I know that this success doesn't mean anything unless you keep winning. I also know that winning at Purdue will not be easy. The Boilermakers aren't good, but they aren't bad either. This will be a tougher game than Illinois, I believe. Look at this, now that MN is ranked, everyone is picking them to win. Not the case previously. Just because a team isn't in the top 25 and haven't been great in the past doesn't mean that they will lose all of their games, just because they are ranked and have been historically good doesn't mean that they will always win. Purdue, which hasn't dropped five in a row since losing six straight in 2005, tries to snap a 17-game losing streak to top 25 opponents The online sports betting odds at Heroescasino.com has the OVER/UNDER in this Minnesota vs Purdue game is set at 51.5 points.
