Purdue vs. Wisconsin, 7PM ET (View Matchup)
Purdue is 7-2 against the spread in their last 9 games with Wisconsin and 4-1 ATS in their last 5 in Wisconsin. The underdog has also covered the spread in 8 of the last 9 games in this series. My pick is with Purdue to cover. Wisconsin is not a team that really pulls away from anyone and Purdue doesn’t get much respect despite their impressive record. I like the 5 points in this game and will take it with Purdue.
