Rutgers Scarlet Knights vs Purdue Boilermakers Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 10/25/25

The Boilermakers aren’t exactly a team that has raised eyebrows in recent memory. Last year, Purdue was the proverbial hackey sack that got kicked around the Big Ten and the favorite chew toy of many. On cue, the Boilers picked up where they left off, dropping their last 5 overall and getting whacked in every one of these contests. Rutgers, meanwhile, comes in on a 4-game skid of its own, but the Scarlet Knights have more wins on the year, sitting at 3-4 compared to Purdue’s 2-5. However, are the Scarlet Knights a team that should be spotting points on the road in this situation? Probably not. The Knights barely got by Ohio in their season opener as a 15.5-point favorite. Yes, they did what they had to do against Miami Ohio and Norfolk State, but those were in Piscataway. It’s a different task to win in West Lafayette and be expected to do so.

The line also speaks to us. The Boilers are not even being given a field goal, and this is a team whose losses were all by a touchdown or more. If the Knights were worthy of a road favorite designation, they would be laying more here, but they are not. Purdue gets off the snide. Boilers outright.
