Wisconsin at Purdue picks and predictions
Prediction
Purdue 74, Wisconsin 61
Moneyline
Wisconsin has fallen on hard times, and I don’t see them striking the upset here. So there’s no play on the ML.
PASS.
Against the spread
Purdue is 15-0 on its home court this season. The Badgers beat them 70-67 on their home court in the last meeting, but that was in 2022 and a very different Badgers squad. With Wisconsin being so futile at 1-9 ATS over the last 10, I’ll LEAN PURDUE -9.5 (-120).

Over/Under
The Badgers are 8-2 O/U over the last 10, and Purdue is 6-4. The Over is 6-4 in the last 10 meetings between the schools. It would need to be a close game to pull an Over, and Wisconsin is struggling offensively. The Badgers are tied for 153rd with 74.6 PPG.
Take the UNDER 148.5 (-115).
