Bet on IUPUI vs. Purdue

Purdue has won two straight meetings IUPUI in recent years, splitting the spread. Both wins were by at least 20 points. The Jaguars don’t see to have the scoring or defense to pose much of a challenge today, so the key will be for Purdue to shoot well enough to cover the spread. They dominated Valpo in their last game and should be able to do the same today. The public betting is backing IUPUI slightly, due to the large spread, but I think the Boilers find a way to cover.
