Purdue Boilermakers vs. Auburn Tigers (-3.5)
Fri., December 28, 1:30 p.m. ET
Three things to know before betting on Purdue-Auburn:
1. This bowl game features two teams with completely different things going on off the field. For Auburn, the uncertainty of Gus Malzahn’s situation has put a cloud over the program. Malzahn is set to return as coach of the Tigers next year, but won't be around much longer if the Tigers continue to struggle. And Malzahn has already had to make staff changes, which is never a good thing. Meanwhile, Purdue is headed in the right direction after becoming bowl eligible and finding a way to keep Jeff Brohm from leaving for the opening at Louisville.
