LSU Tigers vs Purdue Boilermakers Predictions 1/2/2023

Purdue won its final three matches of the regular season and had some assistance in winning the Big Ten West Division.

They finished the regular season 8-5, with a 6-3 record in conference play, before getting destroyed by #2 Michigan in the Big Ten championship game.

Purdue battled against Michigan during the first half before faltering. After being tied after the first quarter, the Boilermakers fell down 14-13 at the interval before giving up 2 touchdowns in the first 5 minutes of the third.

They were then behind 28–13 and couldn’t get any closer than nine points the rest of the way. Even though Purdue had a 456-386 lead in total offense, a 27-17 advantage in first downs, and a 33:42 to 26:18 advantage in clock control, they still fell short.

The Boilermakers made two turnovers while only forcing one takeaway in the contest, but they were unable to thwart Michigan’s rapid attacks.

The Boilermakers’ 287.2 passing yards per game place them 16th in the country, while their 123.1 rushing yards per game place them 104th.

Purdue averages 28.1 points per game on offense, placing them 69th in the FBS, while surrendering 24.6 points per game on defense, placing them 54th overall.

This year, Aidan O’Connell completed 320 of his 499 attempts for 3,490 yards, 22 touchdowns, and 13 interceptions.

While Austin Burton (24 of 32, 199 yards, three touchdowns, one interception, and 42 run yards) and Brady Allen (one of three, eight yards) both saw little action, Michael Alaimo is five of seven for 37 yards.

The Purdue Boilermakers are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 matches.
The total went OVER in 12 of Purdue’s last 18 matches.
The Boilermakers are 7-3 SU in their last 10 matches.

#17 LSU Tigers vs Purdue Boilermakers. The NCAAF pick for this game is the Purdue Boilermakers.

By choosing to forego playing, Purdue’s starting quarterback, leading receiver, and top tight end significantly reduce the Boilermakers’ offensive potency.

Burton is anticipated to start in this situation at center, but he will need to rely on backup alternatives to move the sticks.

On the good side, Purdue played solid defense and should be able to hold on, much as they did against Michigan.

LSU also suffered some quality losses as a result of opt-outs, but they still have their quarterback and a strong running game.

The problem is that this line is tied with Oregon’s -14.5 against North Carolina for the largest spread during bowl season, and Kelly’s strategy is to win matches, not thrash opponents for style points.

The Purdue Boilermakers will win to a predicted score of 35-24.
