Purdue at Nebraska

The Purdue Boilermakers looked somewhat shaky early in the season but this team has become a force in the Big-10 as they have now won 10 of their last 11 games. Aside from a stinker last game vs. Indiana that saw both teams combine to score fewer than 100 points, Purdue has touched 70 or better in 9 of their previous 10. The Boilermakers have also shot 47% or better in 7 of their last 10 games. Nebraska was once upon a time 13-4 and looked to be a surprise contender in the Big-10 but has fallen off a cliff since at just 2-8 in their last 10. Nebraska has not been defending as well and has been repeatedly losing the battle of the glass where they have been out-rebounded in five straight games. While this game may be close, Purdue is finding ways to win while Nebraska is wilting down the stretch. I could see a march to the free throw line late in this one where Purdue should close out the game. Play Purdue on the moneyline and also the OVER.
