[MATT YOUMANS LAS VEGAS REVIEW-JOURNAL, 28-26-2 (overall record)]

Today's best bet: Central Michigan (+8) over Purdue (Motor City Bowl)

Motivation is a question for the Boilermakers, who lost three in a row after starting the season 7-2. Purdue's offense should put up a lot of points behind quarterback Curtis Painter. The underdog Chippewas are capable of keeping it close with dual-threat quarterback Dan LeFevour. The Boilermakers rolled 45-22 in the first meeting, but do they really care about this rematch?
