FanDuel Rivalry Odds: IU at Purdue football

Happy Thanksgiving from all of us here at Hammer and Rails, and an even happier black and old gold Friday tomorrow!If you’re a Purdue fan, you’re plate is going to be full with action tomorrow as Purdue basketball gets the day kicked off with a noon tip-off before the entree of the night, a 7:30 PM Old Oaken Bucket Game at Ross-Ade Stadium Friday Night game between home team Purdue (2-9) and in-state rival and undefeated #2 Indiana (11-0).

On paper, Purdue looks entirely outmatched. Purdue has gone winless in the Big Ten again and IU has ran through its season and is a win away from finding itself once again in the College Football Playoffs and playing for a Big Ten Championship.

FanDuel says that it’s likely either of those trends are going to end on Friday night.Purdue is a 28.5 underdog at home against #2 Indiana.

But Barry Odom, his staff, and his players are desperate for hope as its first season with the new head coach comes to an end.

What better time to bring back the Spoilermakers moniker than to give the in-state rival its first loss of the season and put its playoff hopes in jeapordy?

If you do believe that Purdue has a shot for some late night magic, you could make yourself a pretty penny.FanDuel is offering +2400 odds for Purdue’s moneyline.

Indiana has transformed under second year coach, Curt Cignetti. It has gone from laughingstock to one of the top programs in the country overnight.On the other end, Purdue has weathered two disappointing new coaches in the last three seasons. While there is some hope still for Odom’s tenure, the outcome in his first season has not been what Purdue fans hoped for as it stares down another winless conference slate.Can Purdue start trending in the right direction headed into the offseason? There’s plenty of incentive for Purdue to give its best effort of the season in its final game.
