The Boilermakers routed Duke 75-56 Sunday in the championship game of the Phil Knight Legacy tournament at Moda Center in Portland, Ore., and now face the difficult task of traveling cross-country to the panhandle of Florida in two days. Luckily, Purdue will find a struggling FSU team waiting for its arrival.

The Seminoles were dusted by another Big Ten team, Nebraska, on a neutral floor Sunday (75-58). Their only win was against Mercer on Nov. 21, while losing games to Siena, Stetson and Troy. FSU is 1-7 against the spread overall, too.

Purdue at Florida State picks and predictions

Prediction

Purdue 76, Florida State 58

Moneyline

There was no money line at the time of publishing.

Against the spread

PURDUE -14.5 (-110) is worth playing here, as Florida State has been absolutely horrific so far this season.

The Boilermakers have covered their last 3 games overall, rolling up 75 or more points in 5 of their 6 games. This will be Purdue’s first true road game, and it would be a little concerning traveling from Oregon to Florida in 48 hours, but the Seminoles are absolutely horrific.

Over/Under

UNDER 139.5 (-110) is the play here, and Purdue’s results are driving this train. The Under has cashed in 5 of its 6 games, while Florida State has hit the Under in each of the past 2 games. The Seminoles are averaging just 59.0 PPG in the past 2 games, struggling mightily from the floor.
