Why Friday Night Matters for Iowa Fans
Washington travels to Purdue at 8:00 p.m. ET Friday on FOX, and the game carries extra weight for Hawkeye supporters. Iowa hammered Washington 17 points better at Kinnick Stadium earlier this season, part of a three-game losing skid for the Huskies that also included narrow losses to Minnesota and USC.
Both teams enter Friday at 3-3. Purdue, at 2-1 in Big Ten play, has rebounded from losses to Wake Forest, UCLA, and Notre Dame with back-to-back wins over Illinois and Minnesota. Washington has yet to beat a Big Ten opponent this season. Purdue is favored by 3.5 points, with the total set at 52.5.

Friday Night Game-by-Game Breakdown
Memphis vs. Tulane
Memphis is the biggest favorite on the Friday board. The Tigers sit at 5-1 and have won three straight, crushing UT Martin by 34, Charlotte by 51, and UAB by 25. Their only loss came against Boise State. Tulane limps in at 2-3 with defeats against Duke, Kansas State, and Army, all on the road. Memphis is a 7-point favorite at Yulman Stadium in New Orleans, with the total at 55.5. Kickoff is 7:30 p.m. ET on ESPN.
Washington vs. Purdue
The marquee Friday game kicks off at 8:00 p.m. ET at Ross-Ade Stadium in West Lafayette on FOX. Purdue is favored by 3.5 after winning two straight, while Washington is still searching for its first Big Ten victory. The over/under is 52.5.
App State vs. Coastal Carolina
The Sun Belt nightcap features two teams moving in opposite directions. App State started 3-0 but has dropped games to North Carolina State and Old Dominion to fall to 3-2 and 0-1 in conference play. Coastal Carolina started 2-0, lost three straight to Delaware, Liberty, and Georgia Southern, then beat Marshall last week to move to 2-4. App State is a 1.5-point favorite at Brooks Stadium in Conway, South Carolina, with the total at 49.5. Kickoff is 8:00 p.m. ET on FOX.
What Bettors Should Know Before Signing Up
The Friday slate is unusually tight, with no game carrying a spread wider than seven points, which is exactly the kind of board where a small bonus bankroll can stretch a long way. A $10 daily bonus on a near pick'em game like App State and Coastal Carolina carries nearly even odds on either side.
Fox Sports, which has tracked the same promotion under its own code, reports that the bonus structure pays out a $10 bonus bet for each of 10 consecutive days of $5 play. FOX Sports also details the app's contest features for readers comparing sportsbook welcome offers.
Odds are subject to change, and bettors should gamble responsibly. The promotion is open to new users who complete account verification.
