The weekend college football betting action gets started early Friday afternoon from Nashville as Purdue faces Auburn in the Music City Bowl. Hugely disappointing season for the Tigers, who were a preseason Top 10 team but finished 7-5 with three losses by at least 14 points.

However, they are 3.5-point favorites over the 6-6 Boilermakers, who got bowl eligible with a 28-21 win at rival Indiana to close the regular season. It’s already been a successful postseason for Purdue, though, because it kept head coach Jeff Brohm from bolting for alma mater Louisville. The Boilers are just 6-16 SU in their past 22 games after a win.

In the Camping World Bowl from Orlando, No. 16 West Virginia faces No. 20 Syracuse. The big story there is star Mountaineers QB Will Grier deciding to skip the bowl and focus on the NFL Draft. He should be a first-round pick. WVU’s best offensive lineman, Yodny Cajuste, also will sit. The Orange are 1.5-point favorites and have covered their past three against WVU.
