Purdue vs. Northwestern football TV, streaming, odds

Purdue football visits Northwestern in Big Ten action on Saturday.

The Boilermakers (3-7, 2-5) broke a four-game losing skid with an offensive explosion against Minnesota. Devin Mockobee and Tyrone Tracy Jr. both exceeded 100 rushing yards, and Hudson Card led an efficient passing game. The Boilermakers rank 13th in Big Ten Conference games defensively (allowing 31.4 points and 381.3 yards).

Northwestern (5-5, 3-4) wants a victory to become bowl eligible for interim coach David Braun. The Wildcats have alternated wins and losses all season, and are coming off a victory over Wisconsin. The Wildcats have trouble protecting their quarterbacks (33 sacks allowed, leading to a paltry 78.1 rushing yards per conference game) and getting to opposing QBs (registering just 11).

Purdue has won the last two matchups and owns a 53-33-1 all-time series edge.
