Purdue (7-5) vs. Central Michigan (8-5)
Dec. 26th, 7:30 pm, ESPN


Purdue will win if... it gets the running game working right away and there aren't a lot of mistakes. Purdue has done a good job all season long of keeping the turnovers in relative check, and this game can't be any different. With the exception of quarterback, the Boilermakers are far more talented and far better in all other areas, so it'll take something extraordinary to blow this. That'll start with controlling the tempo from the start, getting a few early scores, and get Taylor and Sheets rumbling for a full sixty minutes to counter the inevitable backlash from the CMU offense at some point. Defensively, Purdue has to use its athleticism to swarm LeFevour and avoid getting pounded on. If the team's head is into it, it should be able to end this by halftime.

What will happen: Purdue will go through the motions and be in for more of a fight than it wants early on, but in the end, the CMU defense will break down for a long stretch and get tagged for a big run. It might take a quarter or so, but the Boilermakers will come up with at least 20 points or more in a row to blow up a decent battle. LeFevour will throw for well over 300 yards, but Purdue will crank out over 500 yards of total offense using a balanced attack to get the win.

Line: Purdue -9... CFN Prediction: Purdue 48 ... Central Michigan 30

wow this one's tough

[Cuck Flemson]

All pending bowl games will be on a Sticky!

[donbgamecock]

This bowl game means a lot to me because if I don't win this one, I have to wait until the 28th to see if I win some more money to bet. I am broke after the first half of the bowl season.

I have to go. I have a gambling annonymous meeting to catch before Christmas. I have to explain why I hocked all my kid's vtoys for vcash just to gamble.

Go Cocks!

Merry Christmas.

[Cuck Flemson]

This game is tonight.

Hopefully Purdue will cover in this game........I'm tired of losing my money:lol:

[spartcock77]

Im going with Purdue as they won this rematch big earlier in the year and Im on a roll picking ECU and the Redskins on Sunday

[ConwayGamecock]

This is somewhat of a shaky bet for me, but I'm still betting on the choo-choo trains. Purdue whooped up on UCM earlier in the season, but both teams then turned in opposite directions after that, with the Boilermakers going winless against bowl teams (0-5), and 2-5 overall, while the Chippewas went 7-2 down the stretch, and won the MAC. Purdue only got a bowl bid because 2 Big 10 teams made BCS bowls. So it could be that this game will be a continuance of how each teams' season has gone. I'm still betting that Purdue is too much team for UCM, and they pull away in the end for a comfortable win by 7-14 points.....
