These two teams have gone under in five of their last seven matchups. Both like to run the ball and that helps the clock run down taking the score lower. The total has gone Under in 4 of Purdue's last 5 games against an opponent in the Independents (FBS) conference. Purdue was effective in their game against Texas State, holding them to just 13 points. In their last game against NIU, that was another slugfest that stayed well under the total. In the last game these two played in 2021, that game totaled no more than 40 points. Both these teams will battle it out in an ugly lower scoring game.

Best bet: take the Under the Total.
