Purdue vs. Wisconsin Prediction
When Purdue and Wisconsin face-off, these games are typically very close. All eyes will be on the Kohl Center on Sunday afternoon, as both teams are ranked in the top-10 in the AP poll. Which team will end up pulling off the win?
I’ll be honest, I have zero clue who is going to win this game. I lean Purdue, but this game should go down to the last possession. Instead of making a bet on the spread or moneyline, let’s target the total. We’ve got an edge here...
This is by-far the best college basketball game of the day, meaning it’s going to be the most-watched/most-bet on game of the day as well. That means plenty of bets on the over, and I’m already seeing nearly 75% of the bets and handle (on VSIN) backing the over this afternoon.
I can’t blame the public for hammering this over after Purdue just dropped 105 points against NW in their last game, and after Wisconsin blew a lead to Nebraska last week, the public is expecting an offensive bounce-back performance.
Instead of riding with the public, let’s fade them in this spot. The over is getting hammered with bets, but the total has slowly dropped all day. This reverse line movement is a great sign for under backers in this spot.
It’s also comforting to know that you’re taking the nastiest, most-contrarian under on the board. These typical pay out, as the sportsbooks aren’t open to lose money! This is a big game for both Purdue and Wisconsin, and I’d imagine there will be some nerves in this one. As long as we can stay away from overtime, I like our chances of cashing on this under.
