The Wisconsin Badgers (2-2) will face off against the Purdue Boilermakers (1-3) this Saturday, October 5, 2024, in a Big Ten showdown at Camp Randall Stadium.
The visitors have had a tough start to the season, managing only one win so far, which came in their opener against Indiana State. Since then, they've struggled to put up points, suffering defeats to Notre Dame and Oregon State. Last week, they faced a 28-10 loss at home to Nebraska in their Big Ten opener. So far, they’ve only covered the spread in one of their four games.
On the other hand, the hosts are still on the hunt for their first Big Ten victory of the season. They breezed through their first two matchups, winning easily against Western Michigan and South Dakota. However, Week 3 brought a tougher challenge. The Badgers were handed a 42-10 defeat at home by Alabama, failing to cover the spread. Their struggles continued last week with a 38-21 road loss to USC. The Badgers have yet to cover the spread this season.
