Indiana vs Purdue Prediction | College Basketball Betting Picks

This in-state Big Ten rivalry game looks lopsided in terms of talent. Clearly, Purdue is the better team. They also get to play at home. Unfortunately, the college basketball betting odds from BetUS also reflect this.

Indiana has really struggled on the road, sporting a 2-12 record ATS in their last 14 games. Purdue hasn’t been much better recently, going 0-5-1 ATS in their last six games. They have also lost back-to-back games, so they are looking to bounce back in a big way today.

But with both schools struggling to cover, we will instead look to the total. Indiana struggles to hit shots consistently, but they have a decent defense. Five of Purdue’s last six games have gone under the point total. These six games have had an average point total of 137.2. Given Indiana’s struggles on the road offensively, we will pick this game to go under as well.

Our college basketball betting Indiana vs Purdue prediction tonight will be the point total going UNDER at BetUS. 

For what it’s worth, the ESPN Matchup Predictor gives Purdue an 87.9% chance to win.
