THURSDAY COLLEGE FOOTBALL SELECTIONS
1-Unit Play. Take #135 Northwestern (+1) over Purdue (8 p.m., Thursday, Aug. 30)
Purdue really was one of the better stories in college football last year. After winning just nine games in the previous four years the Boilermakers busted out for seven wins and a bowl game. Jeff Brohm worked his magic in Year 1, but now he has to do it again. And no one is going to be sleeping on the Boilermakers this year. Purdue has just four starters back on defense and they dropped their game at Northwestern handily last year, falling behind 20-0. Northwestern won 10 games last year, brings back starting quarterback and four-year starter Clayton Thorson, and could end up being even better this season than last. I like the value with the underdog.
