Purdue vs Yale Prediction | March Madness Picks and Bracketology
Purdue is a good basketball team and, at their best, has the talent to win it all. However, they have struggled down the stretch of the season. As seen in the trends above, they have failed to cover the spread in seven games, meaning they have underperformed in those seven games. While they should be able to handle business against the nerds of Yale, one has to wonder how tough the Boilermakers will make it on themselves.
Yale is going to try and win this game by attacking inside the arc, which simply won’t work. They’re not a team built to compete in the NCAA Tournament, especially against a Purdue team that has talent and big bodies on the inside.
While we shouldn’t trust Purdue to cover the spread, they’ll win the game. We’ll take the under has our best bet.
Our college basketball betting Purdue vs Yale prediction tonight will be the point total going UNDER at BetUS.
For what it’s worth, the ESPN Matchup Predictor gives Purdue a 95.8% chance to win.
