The game starts at 6 PM and can be seen on Fox Sports 1.
Wisconsin is coming off of a 35-14 Week 3 win over Georgia Southern at Camp Randall. The defense was able to force six turnovers, snatching five interceptions while also recovering a fumble. Safety Hunter Wohler recorded 10 tackles, including a sack, while intercepting two passes in the victory, earning himself the Big Ten Defensive Player of the Week honors.
Purdue on the other hand, lost to Syracuse 35-20, turning the ball over four times by losing three fumbles and throwing an interception. The Boilermakers’ defense in particular, struggled to stop Syracuse’s quarterback Garrett Shrader from compiling 195 yards and four touchdowns on 25 carries.
Wisconsin will look to keep the good times going in Week 4 and this is how BetMGM sees the game going:
- Point spread: Wisconsin -5.5
- Money line: Wisconsin -225 / Purdue +180
- Over-under: 53.5

With both quarterbacks Tanner Mordecai (Wisconsin) and Hudson Card (Purdue) making their Big Ten conference play debuts, I feel like both guys will look to prove themselves. Both defenses struggle to stop big plays and I feel like Wisconsin has more home run hitters, so they’ll be able to pull away from the Boilermakers to grab their third win of the year.
Prediction: 34-24 Wisconsin
