The Incarnate Word Cardinals are more than capable of getting their boots smoked here, but they didn’t lose to Baylor or Texas Tech by what this line is. The Purdue Boilermakers have a clear edge across the board and could smoke the Cards boots, but this is also a bit of a letdown spot after wins over NC State and Butler. Purdue also has a big break after this game, so a possible look ahead spot as well. Tons of points here. Give me Incarnate Word.
