Purdue vs Iowa Prediction

In this Purdue vs Iowa Prediction, Purdue is coming as -1.5 road favorites. Both teams have been very good this season and have almost identical overall records. They are both coming into this matchup in very good form, as Iowa is 6-1 in its last 7 games but 2-4 against the spread, while Purdue is 7-3 in its last 10 but only 2-8 against the spread, so I see no value on either side. Both teams are 10-3 to the over in their last 13 games combined, as Iowa’s elite defense has been struggling lately, having allowed 70+ points in four of its last five games. Their previous meeting earlier this season was also a high-scoring one, so take the over 141.5 points in this one.
