Inside NU's Northwestern-Purdue picks

Unanimity once again!

Northwestern will play at Ryan Field for the last time in 2015 Saturday when it welcomes Purdue to Evanston. The Wildcats (7-2, 3-2) are heavy favorites over the Boilermakers (2-7, 1-4). For full coverage of the game, head here.

Below are our picks for Saturday's game (11 a.m., Big Ten Network):

Henry Bushnell: Northwestern 26, Purdue 17

Northwestern is a 15.5-point favorite, as of Thursday afternoon. Northwestern should not be a two-touchdown favorite over anybody. Statistically, Northwestern's offense will be the worst unit on the field Saturday, and while you'd expect the Wildcats to be able to run the ball, Purdue's pass defense is actually decent.
