Purdue at Maryland picks and predictions

Prediction

Maryland 65, Purdue 61

Moneyline

With how it performs at home, MARYLAND (+110) is the pick in this contest. The Terrapins are 13-1 at XFINITY Center this season.

Stream select live college basketball games and full replays: Get ESPN+

Against the spread

MARYLAND +1.5 (-105) is the ideal choice if you aren’t confident in taking the moneyline and want a single point of insurance. The Terrapins are 10-4 ATS at home this season.

Maryland is also 4-0 ATS in its last 4 home games against a team with a winning road record and the underdog is 4-0 ATS in the last 4 meetings between these programs.

Over/Under

Even with an elite scorer like C Zach Edey on the floor for Purdue, UNDER 132.5 (-110) is the ideal way to bet the total. The Boilermakers allow 61.7 points per game (15th), while the Terrapins allow 62.8 points per game (24th).

Purdue has gone Under in 6 of its last 7 games against a team with a winning record. Maryland is 10-1 to the Under in its last 11 games following a win.

Purdue at Northwestern odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Purdue at Northwestern odds and lines, with college basketball expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The No. 1 Purdue Boilermakers (23-2, 12-2 Big Ten) take on the Northwestern Wildcats (17-7, 8-5) in Evanston on Sunday at 2 p.m. ET (Big Ten Network). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Purdue vs. Northwestern odds, and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and bets.

Rankings courtesy of the USA TODAY Sports Coaches Poll.

Purdue bounced back from Feb. 4 loss to Indiana with an 87-73 win at home over the Iowa Hawkeyes on Thursday, covering the 7.5-point spread. Junior C Zach Edey is averaging 22.1 points, 13.2 rebounds and 2.3 blocks per game. His 7-foot-4 frame leaves him unstoppable in the post and he has a 63% shooting percentage from the floor. The leader for the Wooden Award as player of the year, Edey will have an easy time against the undersized Wildcats.

Northwestern has won its last 2 games, both on the road, the last a 69-63 win at Ohio State on Thursday as 5.5-point underdogs. If Northwestern, tied for 3rd in the Big Ten, hopes to pull off a home upset, it will have to neutralize everyone else on the floor other than Edey.

This is the only meeting between the schools this season.

Purdue at Northwestern picks and predictions

Prediction

Purdue 70, Northwestern 58

Moneyline

PASS.

Purdue has been the best team in the Big Ten all season. This game will not be as close as the spread suggests and a wager on the favorite, while good to add to a parlay, is not worth a straight wager.

Stream select live college basketball games and full replays: Get ESPN+

Against the spread

PURDUE -4.5 (-110).

Purdue has the best player in this game and this will make a huge difference when it comes to the scoreboard. Even in a 79-74 loss last Saturday, Edey scored 33 points and had 18 rebounds. Doing this against Northwestern will lead to a blowout and 4.5 points is not enough for me to want to take the risk on the Wildcats. Purdue is the better team and it will show on Sunday.

Over/Under

UNDER 131.5 (-110).

Purdue averages 74.6 points per game but Northwestern has the 21st-ranked team defense at 62.1 points allowed. While Purdue will win this matchup, the offense might be held down just a bit and struggle to get to 70.

On the other side of the floor, the Boilermakers defense ranks 15th at 61.6 points and will hold down the Wildcats offense, which is 263rd in the country at 68.4 points.

Both teams will slow down the pace and with Edey hitting a lot of shots in the paint, the 3-point shot will not be a large factor.

Northwestern struggles against the better teams on its schedule. The Under has hit in 11 of 12 games against teams with a winning record. For Purdue, it is much of the same as the Boilermakers are 7-0 to the under in its last 7 against teams with winning records.

This will stay low scoring and the 131.5 is just a few points too high. This would be either an Under play or a stay away at this number.

Iowa at Purdue odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Thursday’s Iowa at Purdue odds and lines, with college basketball expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Iowa Hawkeyes (15-8, 7-5 Big Ten) will square off against the No. 1 Purdue Boilermakers (22-2, 11-2) on Thursday at Mackey Arena. Tip-off is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET (ESPN2). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Iowa vs. Purdue odds, and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and bets.

Rankings courtesy of the USA TODAY Sports Coaches Poll.

The Hawkeyes beat Illinois 81-79 in their previous game despite failing to cover as 2.5-point favorites at home. Iowa is on a 3-game win streak and has won 7 of its last 10 games.

The Boilermakers lost 79-74 to current-No. 18 Indiana Saturday, failing to cover as 1.5-point road underdogs. Purdue had won 9 straight games before its loss to Indiana.

Iowa at Purdue picks and predictions

Prediction

Purdue 83, Iowa 72

Moneyline

PASS.

The Boilermakers (-370) are expected to secure the victory in this matchup, but taking their moneyline at the current odds isn’t worth the risk.

Stream select live college basketball games and full replays: Get ESPN+

Against the spread

BET PURDUE -7.5 (-110).

This is the ideal side as the Boilermakers return home following a loss to a ranked Indiana squad. The Boilermakers have beaten the Hawkeyes in 7 of the last 10 meetings and 6 of those were by 9 or more points.

Over/Under

OVER 149.5 (-110) is the lean here with how well these teams can score. Iowa and Purdue are averaging a combined 155.5 points per game, while Iowa allows 73.5 points per game (289th in the nation).

The Hawkeyes have gone Over in 8 of their last 10 games overall. Meanwhile, the Boilermakers have gone Over in each of their last 4 games overall.

Purdue at Indiana odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Purdue at Indiana odds and lines, with college basketball expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The No. 1 Purdue Boilermakers (22-1, 11-1 Big Ten) and No. 22 Indiana Hoosiers (15-7, 6-5) meet Saturday at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall in Bloomington, Ind. Tip-off is scheduled for 4 p.m. ET (ESPN). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Purdue vs. Indiana game odds, and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and bets.

The top-ranked Boilermakers have rattled off 9-consecutive victories since their only blemish, a 65-64 setback at Rutgers Jan. 2. Purdue is also a very strong 6-2-1 ATS across the past 9 games overall, while cashing the Over in each of the previous 3 outings.

The Hoosiers were dumped 66-55 at Maryland as the Under cashed, snapping a 5-game winning streak. Indiana also entered College Park on a 4-1 ATS run before the non-cover.

Purdue at Indiana picks and predictions

Prediction

Purdue 72, Indiana 68

Moneyline

The top-ranked Boilermakers are at a solid price as short ‘dogs at IU.

Take PURDUE (-105).

Stream select live college basketball games and full replays: Get ESPN+

Against the spread

PURDUE +1.5 (-120) has mowed through the competition, and it’s hard to envision the top-ranked team having issues with an inconsistent Indiana -1.5 (+100) side.

The Boilermakers are 6-2-1 ATS in the past 9 games overall, and 3-1-1 ATS in the past 5 on the road, while going 5-2-1 ATS in the past 8 against winning teams.

On the flip side, the Hoosiers are just 4-9 ATS in the past 13 games and 1-4 ATS in the past 5 following a straight-up loss. It’s better to take the ML, but if you want the point of insurance, this is the way to go.

Over/Under

OVER 139.5 (-105) is the lean, but ever so slightly. Go with a half-unit play at most.

The Over is 9-4-1 in the past 14 games overall for Indiana, while going 6-2 in the past 8 games at home. The trends for Purdue mostly point to the Under, so there is plenty of risk here. Go lightly.

Penn State at Purdue odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Wednesday’s Penn State at Purdue odds and lines, with college basketball expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Penn State Nittany Lions (14-7, 5-5 Big Ten) and No. 1 Purdue Boilermakers (21-1, 10-1) swing into February with a Wednesday match-up in West Lafayette. The contest at Mackey Arena will tip off at 6:30 p.m. ET (Big Ten Network). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Penn State vs. Purdue odds, and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and bets.

Rankings courtesy the USA TODAY Sports Coaches Poll.

Penn State is coming off an 83-61 rout over Michigan Sunday. The Lions covered as 3.5-point favorites and are 4-1 against the spread (ATS) since Jan. 17. PSU fires a ton of 3-pointers; it hit 13 triples in the win over UM and is shooting 39.4% from distance over its last 5 games.

Purdue lost to Rutgers Jan. 2 but is 8-0 straight up and 5-2-1 ATS since. The Boilermakers are a fine offensive rebounding and passing team. They logged 21 assists in their last game, their most in a single contest since Dec. 4.

Penn State at Purdue picks and predictions

Prediction

Purdue 73, Penn State 66

Moneyline

Penn State (+390) teeters on being the value side of this one, but the Lions have more than enough warts to question the validity of a play. PSU’s comp games don’t make for a glowing report.

PASS.

Stream select live college basketball games and full replays: Get ESPN+

Against the spread

PSU has taken 2 of the last 3 series meetings ATS, receiving 10 and 10.5 points in the 2 covers.

However, the expected deficit at the line here, coupled with Penn State’s distance shooting running into a tough perimeter defense, makes PSU action too risky.

AVOID.

Over/Under

The Over has hit in 8 of the last 10 series meetings, is 8-2 in PSU’s last 10 games against over-.500 teams and is 5-0 in PU’s last 5 against winning teams.

Offensive efficiency outweighs pace in this one, and the Nittany Lions have enough 3-point shooting to warrant a partial-unit play on the OVER 134.5 (-115).

Michigan State at Purdue odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Michigan State at Purdue odds and lines, with college basketball expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Michigan State Spartans (14-7, 6-4 Big Ten) visit the No. 1 Purdue Boilermakers (20-1, 9-1) Sunday. Tip-off from Mackey Arena is set for 12:15 p.m. ET (CBS). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Michigan State vs. Purdue odds, and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and bets.

Michigan State beat the Iowa Hawkeyes 63-61 on Thursday, but did not cover as 2.5-point home favorites. The Spartans have won only 2 of their last 5 games. The Spartans will have their hands full going against C Zach Edey, who scored 32 points and had 17 rebounds in the Boilermakers’ 64-63 win at Michigan State on Jan. 17.

Purdue has won 7 straight games since their lone loss at Rutgers on Jan. 2, the last a 75-70 win over Michigan on Thursday as 5.5-point road favorites. In 15 of Purdue’s 21 games Edey has led both teams in scoring, and in 18 games he has led both teams in rebounds.

Michigan State at Purdue picks and predictions

Prediction

Purdue 63, Michigan State 58

Moneyline

AVOID.

Purdue holds the edge in offense, defense, field goal percentage, rebounding, and blocks and should win this game at home, but Michigan State is always a tough opponent. Purdue can get sloppy with the ball at times and can even be a bit 1-dimensional, but they are simply too good for this Michigan State team to beat. Either way the risk in this bet is not worth the reward so steer clear.

Stream select live college basketball games and full replays: Get ESPN+

Against the spread

BET MICHIGAN STATE +7.5 (+100).

All trends lean toward the Spartans making this game close. Tte underdog is 5-1 ATS in the last 6 matchups between these 2 teams . Michigan State is 7-3 ATS in their last 10 away games vs. teams with winning records, and Purdue is 1-6-1 ATS in their last 8 home games.

Over/Under

LEAN UNDER 130.5 (-110).

The Under is very obviously the more trendy bet for both teams. The Under for Purdue has been almost a lock lately as the Under is 6-0 vs. teams with a road losing record. For the Spartans, the Under is 7-2 in their last 9 vs. a team with a winning record.

Purdue at Michigan odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Thursday’s Purdue at Michigan odds and lines, with college basketball expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The No. 1 Purdue Boilermakers (19-1, 8-1 Big Ten) and Michigan Wolverines (11-8, 5-3) tussle Thursday. The contest at Crisler Center in Ann Arbor will tip off at 9 p.m. ET (FS1). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Purdue vs. Michigan odds, and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and bets.

Rankings courtesy the USA TODAY Sports Coaches Poll.

Purdue’s lone loss came on Jan. 2 against Rutgers (65-64). The Boilermakers shot just 30.4% from distance and 67.9% from the foul line in that game, but have shot a robust 38.5% on 3s and a blistering 84.2% on free throws in going 6-0 since.

The Wolverines are 6-1 straight up over their last 7 games against the Boilermakers and have won 11 in a row against the spread (ATS) in the series. However, Michigan has struggled against the number lately and is just 1-4 ATS over its last 5 games.

Purdue at Michigan picks and predictions

Prediction

Purdue 69, Michigan 67

Moneyline

There is no value on risking more than 2 1/2 times your potential return on Purdue (+260) to win.

PASS.

Against the spread

The Boilermakers are 3-9-1 ATS in their last 13 games following a straight-up win. The Wolverines are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 home games against winning teams, and they have certainly had the ATS upper hand in recent meetings in this series.

UM has dropped a few close games of late and is likely getting a point or 2 in some value here. Michigan’s 3-point defense is just solid enough, and Purdue’s offensive efficiency on the road makes the Boilermakers gettable here — against the number, anyway.

TAKE MICHIGAN +5.5 (-110).

Over/Under

Peg this one for a moderate-to-slow pace. This is a fair number: PASS.

Maryland at Purdue odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Maryland at Purdue odds and lines, with college basketball expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Maryland Terrapins (12-6, 3-4 Big Ten) head into West Lafayette on Sunday to face the No. 3 Purdue Boilermakers (18-1, 7-1) at 1 p.m. ET (FS1). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Maryland vs. Purdue odds, and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and bets.

Rankings courtesy of the USA TODAY Sports Coaches Poll.

Purdue has a 2-game lead in the Big Ten and is led by All-American and player-of-the-year favorite Zach Edey, who is averaging 21.3 points and 13 rebounds per game. After escaping Michigan State 64-63 last Sunday, Purdue dismantled an outclassed Minnesota squad 61-39 on Thursday.

Maryland beat Michigan 64-58 on Thursday as a 2.5-point home favorite after losing its previous game to Iowa 81-67. Maryland was ranked in the top 15 early in the season, but has fallen off.

Purdue at Minnesota picks and predictions

Prediction

Purdue 65, Maryland 57

Moneyline

PASS.

Purdue will win this game as it’s the better team and it is playing at home, but -650 is way too much to wager on a straight bet.

Against the spread

MARYLAND +10.5 (-110).

These teams play close games and have not played a game since 2020 which ended at more then 7 points. The last 2 meetings were 1-point margins. Purdue’s defense will stifle the Maryland offense and hold them down. But the slow pace of the Purdue offense will not allow the game to get out of hand. Expect a close, but comfortable, win for Purdue. However, expect Maryland to cover this number.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 133.5 (-105).

All the trends lean Under in this game. Maryland is 6-0 in its last 6 games following a straight up victory. Maryland is also 6-0 to in the Under in its last 6 road games.

The Boilermakers average 74.4 points and allow 60.1, good for 12th in the nation. The Terrapins average 71.1 PPG and allow 64.5, which is 54th in the nation.

With that kind of defense, this game screams Under 133.5 (-105).

Purdue, after a fingernail-biting 64-63 win over Michigan State as 3.5-point favorites in its last contest, will have an easier time Thursday against the last- place Golden Gophers.

Zach Edey and the Boilermakers beat Minnesota 89-70 on Dec. 4 and pushed as 19-point favorites with the Over 131.5 total cashing.

While Purdue is known for its defense, ranking 21stin the nation allowing only 61.2 points, the Minnesota offense is ranked 342nd in the country at only 64.4 PPG.

Purdue at Minnesota picks and predictions

Prediction

Purdue 72, Minnesota 55

Moneyline

Purdue -950 would be the only wager to make. But with the odds so high, I am not willing to risk almost 10 times my money for a straight bet on this game.

Against the spread

PURDUE -13.5 (-105) is the wager to make in this game.

Purdue’s elite defense will hold down a Minnesota team that is 255th in FG percentage at 43.1 and 245th in 3-point percentage at 32.9.

Edey (21.9 PPG) and the Purdue offense will move up and down the floor at The Barn. This game will be double-digits at the half and Purdue will not look back from there.

Over/Under

UNDER 133.5 (-110) is the way I am playing here.

While Purdue can score, the Boilermakers defense will not allow the overmatched Golden Gophers to keep pace.

Minnesota will be lucky to get out of the 50s against Purdue and the Boilermakers will coast to the end by milking the clock and extending the length of its trips down the floor.

Purdue at Michigan State odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Monday’s Purdue at Michigan State odds and lines, with college basketball expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The No. 3 Purdue Boilermakers (16-1, 5-1 Big Ten) and Michigan State Spartans (15-5, 4-2) line up for a special Monday matinee at the Breslin Center in East Lansing. Tip-off is at 2:30 p.m. ET (FOX). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Purdue vs. Michigan State odds, and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and bets.

Purdue has won 3 consecutive games straight up (SU) and against the spread (ATS) since losing to Rutgers 65-64 on Jan. 2. In the win streak Purdue is hittting 10.7 triples per game — and made the 3-pointers at a 41% clip. The percentage is a new trend for a team ranked 227th in the nation in 3-point accuracy (32.6%).

The Spartans are coming off a 75-66 loss at Illinois Friday night as 6.5-point underdogs. MSU was undone by an 0-for-7 performance from beyond the arc. In 10 games prior to Friday, the Spartans connected on 40.1% of its triples.

Purdue at Michigan State picks and predictions

Prediction

Purdue 68, Michigan State 67

Moneyline

Rebounding at both ends will loom large in this game. Michigan State has been quite good — and improving of late — on the defensive glass. It’s coming off 1 of its best efforts in corralling offensive rebounds.

The Spartans have played a tougher schedule to date, and they’ve faced some top-notch offensive teams. The Boilermakers figure to have the advantage when piling up free throws in this game, but expect the Spartans to have the upper hand from beyond the arc, where prizes really add up.

Still, a PASS is recommended here. Michigan State is the lean, but we would want a +155 to account for expected odds near 40%.

Against the spread

The Boilermakers are 2-7-1 ATS in their last 10 games following a straight-up win. The Spartans are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games following a straight-up loss. In this series, the home team is 6-2-1 ATS in the last 9 meetings. MSU took both games ATS from Purdue last season (straight up 1-1).

The way veteran Michigan State played Gonzaga (Nov. 11) and Alabama (Nov. 24) make for some optimism in this spot. (The latter was a loss but a game well-played in many respects by the Spartans.)

Look for Purdue to be tested down to the wire Monday afternoon.

BACK MICHIGAN STATE +3.5 (-105).

Over/Under

A slow pace is expected, but these are 2 efficient offenses and ones trending upward of late.

PASS on the current total, but this game is worth a line watch. Partial-unit action on the Over can be considered at 132 or better.
