Wake Forest Demon Deacons at Purdue Boilermakers

Wake Forest Demon Deacons visit Purdue Boilermakers in NCAA Football on Saturday, September 12, 2026. Our model projects WAKE 27 – PUR 24, a 3-point edge to Wake Forest Demon Deacons. DraftKings currently has PUR +3 with a total of 50.5.

The only inputs are final scores and schedule dates from the current and prior season, opponent-adjusted, plus the live DraftKings spread and total. 13 completed home-side and 14 completed away-side games are on file, worth 1.58 weighted games on the thinner side after recency decay and a discount on prior-season results. Because that history is graded insufficient, the projected score is blended 85% toward the DraftKings number of +3 / 50.5, which sat 2.105 points from what the completed scores alone implied.

This is a model projection, not an official tracked recommendation. The model rates it unrated, so no side is published and it is not eligible for a tracked pick or a Covered Select. Reasons on file: 1.58 weighted games is below the 3-game minimum for a rated projection; score anchored 85% to the DraftKings number (3 / 50.5); unrated: the history behind this projection is insufficient, so the score is a market-anchored projection rather than a recommendation.
