Oregon vs Purdue Prediction
The Oregon Ducks are getting the benefit of the doubt because they’re at home, where they can be a nightmare when those shots are falling. Oregon is 7-2 SU at home this season. However, are we sure Purdue isn’t the better team? You can argue Purdue will have the best player on the floor, and the Boilermakers have allowed less than 70 points in every contest of their six-game winning streak. In a neutral site, I’m sure Purdue would be favored, so I’m not going to let the venue scare me away. Give me the bucket with Purdue in a game it could win outright.
