Purdue vs Indiana Prediction
I considered Indiana and the points, as it’s usually a tough out at home and this is a balanced, talented team that can be dangerous on the right night. The problem is, Indiana has cooled off over the last two weeks and has been leaky defensively. Purdue also isn’t going to allow losses to linger forever, so expect a more focused team in this spot. Even with two straight losses, Purdue is the more trustworthy side. A win over Rutgers doesn’t move the needle for me. I need to see Indiana show up against a big boy. The line is reasonable. Give me Purdue.
