Our Predictions for this Matchup
Pick: Over 130
It simply seems like the under is a little on the total here. While we acknowledge that the game would need overtime to reach 127 points in the first meeting, we anticipate a higher output from Purdue at home, where they’ve played better all season from a points-per-game perspective. We believe that Nebraska only needs to get into the low to mid-60s, which should be doable given that they’re averaging almost 62 PPG on the road this season. So, although I am not eager to wager on this game, I will side with the over.
