Iowa is coming off of a nice win against Northwestern, while Purdue is coming off of a loss to Wisconsin, where they looked terrible to start the game. Iowa’s offense is one of the worst in the country, but their defense is only allowing 15.8 points per game. Purdue has a high-powered offense, but a poor a defense. I like Iowa with the points in this game, as I think this is a bad matchup for Purdue.
