Finally, more football. We've gotten the pre-Christmas games out of the way and now we proceed with the full bowl blitz. Purdue vs Central Michigan probably isn't lighting your pants on fire, but it should amount to a very high scoring game and who doesn't love that.
Why I'm picking Purdue: Well, there's the obvious reason. That being the Boilermakers already pounded the Chips 45-22 back in September and it wasn't even that close. Curtis Painter should be able to exploit Central's pass defense all evening. If they feel like pounding the ball, that shouldn't be much of a problem, either. Central Michigan ranks 106th in total defense.
Why I could be wrong: Purdue may think they can just go through the motions and repeat their early season performance. I also may be underestimating CMU's growth throughout the season. Not to mention, QB Dan LeFevour would get my vote as the most talented player with the least recognition.
