We are heading to Illinois as the Fighting Illini host the Boilermakers,
Purdue is ranked 18 in the country and are one of the top 10 offensive teams in the country according to Kenpom rankings. They are fresh off a 100 point performance vs Rutgers and will need their offense in a hostile environment tonight.
Illinois may not be ranked, but they still boast a talented lineup. Illinois is the No. 1 scoring offense in the Big Ten. They lack defensively, but juiced up with the crowd tonight, I think they stand a real shot at winning big.
Purdue Vs Illinois Pick:
I am going with the home team Fighting Illini tonight. I understand they lack defensively, but their offense is capable of explosions. Purdue may be a solid team, but they rely on the 3 ball heavily. If Illinois can hold them from hitting a high percentage, I think they run away with this one.
I’m backing the home team Illinois here.
Pick: Illinois -4 (-110)
