Point Spread: -6.00 | -106.00 Purdue (Home)
Result: Win
The Wisconsin Badgers will have their work cut out for them on the road at BIG10 rivals Purdue on Sunday, especially given that this is Purdue's final home game. The Boilermakers have won seven straight at home, and that includes wins over #8 Michigan State and #10 Maryland. My money is on the home team to win in a rout.
Here are my keys to the game:
1. Home Cookin' - The Boilermakers are 16-1 at home overall this season, while the Badgers are just 6-4 on the road. Wisconsin scores just 62.2 points per game on 40 percent shooting on the road, and that's just not going to cut it against Purdue.
2. Battle on the Boards - Purdue leads the BIG10 in rebounding averaging 38.4 rebounds per game. They are an even bigger force at home, where they average just shy of 40 rebounds per game. In their last home game they out-rebounded Maryland 41-22.
3. X-Factor - The Boilermakers are 7-3-1 in their last 11 home games against teams with a winning road record. Senior center A.J. Hammons scored 24 points in Purdue's win at Wisconsin earlier this season, and he's sure to be a handful here on senior's night.
Selection: This is a play on the Purdue Boiler Makers (10*)
