The Purdue Boilermakers from the Big 10 Conference will hit the road for a late night college football game against the Oregon Ducks from the Pac 10 Conference. Kickoff time in Eugene, Oregon is set for 10:15PM Eastern Time with national television coverage provided by FSN. The LVSC college football odds makers have set the opening odds in this game and the home team Oregon Ducks opened as 13-point favorites. The early money from the college football sports bettors have come in on the underdog as the Oregon Ducks are currently a 12 point favorite. The over under is currently lined at 58 ½ for the sports betting public. College football money line players can make a college football bet on the favored Oregon Ducks at –500 with Purdue bringing back +400 to win straight up without the point spread factoring in the sports bet.
In last years meeting the Oregon Ducks defeated the Purdue Boilermakers 32-26 in West Lafayette as the team rushed for 306 yards. But the Oregon Ducks will be without senior running back LeGarrette Blount who was suspended for the season after taking a punch at a Boise St player last week in defeat. The Ducks were flat last week rushing for just 31 yards and accumulating 152 total yards last week in defeat. Jeremiah Masoli will start at quarterback and is coming off a 14-27 effort for 121 yards and an interception last week at Boise St. On the Purdue Boilermakers side they are coming off a 52-31 victory over the Toledo Rockets a week ago. Purdue quarterback Joey Elliot passed for 17 of 28 for 3 touchdowns but had 3 picks last week toToledo. Elliot will make his first road start and playing at Oregon can be difficult. The Ducks weakness is their pass defense and if Elliot can play with poise its possible to do damage through the air. Elliot is a senior quarterback who waited his turn after Curtis Painter left the program.
