In their last game, Purdue was at home, where they beat a ranked Michigan team 92-88. The four-point winning margin failed to cover the spread for their backers, and the 180 points crushed the 136 point total line. In the game, Vincent Edwards was the top scorer for the Boilermakers picking up 30 points on 9/11 shooting and hitting all three of his 3-pointers, and Isaac Haas chimed in for 24 points on 10/14 shooting and also added six rebounds. Muhammad-Ali Abdur-Rahkman was the high scorer for the Wolverines with 26 points on 10/15 from the filed making six of his nine 3-pointers and four starters for the team went for double figures. For the game, Purdue shot a sizzling 62% from the floor, but their defense was lacking allowing Michigan to shoot 60.3%. Purdue is riding a 16-game winning streak, is in first place in the Big 10 as the lone unbeaten team in conference play (9-0), and is 5-0 on the road.

Purdue Boilermakers at Indiana Hoosiers ATS Prediction

Boilermakers at Hoosiers Prediction 1/28/2018I'm not questioning Purdue's superiority, but Indiana is unbeaten at home in Big Ten matches this season. The Hoosiers home victories didn't come against top-flight teams, beating Maryland, Northwestern, Penn State, and Iowa, so I'm not going to call for an outright win, but I think that they can compete and stay within double digits. I'll side with home side here.
