Purdue is 3-11-2 ATS in their last 16 games and 1-4 ATS in their last 5 Thursday games. The under is 13-3 in Purdue’s last 16 games. West Virginia is 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games and 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games following an ATS win. The over is 20-6 in West Virginia’s last 26 games.
This is going to be a great game to watch between two good teams on Thanksgiving night. Purdue is 3-0 and defeated a solid Marquette team in their last game. West Virginia is 4-0, but hasn’t played any real competition yet. Both teams are allowing around 55 points against per game, but Purdue is the better rebounding team. I expect this to be a lower scoring game and I like the under here.
