College Basketball Betting Trends
Purdue
The Boilermakers are 7-1 ATS in their last eight games overall. Purdue is 16-5-1 ATS in its last 22 Tuesday games.
Maryland
The Terrapins are 9-3-1 ATS in their last 13 Tuesday games. Maryland is 15-6-1 ATS after allowing 50 or less points its previous game.
Prediction:
Five of the eight Purdue wins during this streak have come at home, with an 84-80 overtime victory at Wisconsin being the lone top-25 win the Boilermakers have had this season. Meanwhile, Maryland has only lost once at home all season and that was against an elite opponent in Virginia back on Nov. 28 by a score of 76-71. I think the recipe is here for the Terrapins to record a key victory and halt Purdue’s win streak.
