Wisconsin vs Purdue Prediction
Purdue is the more talented team and 12-1 SU at home this season, so the line makes sense. However, Wisconsin is 15-8-1 ATS on the season and a balanced team that doesn’t get blown out often. Wisconsin is top-40 in scoring offense and top-70 in field goal percentage defense. The Badgers will not go down without a fight. Also, the underdog has covered five of the last six games between Wisconsin and Purdue. This has a chance to be a fun Big Ten game that comes down to the wire. Give me Wisconsin and the points.
