Purdue vs Iowa State Prediction
Purdue is the more trustworthy team, and it doesn’t hurt to be at home, but Iowa State enters this contest with a point to prove. Iowa State is unbeaten and 6-2 ATS on the season, led by one of the best offenses in the country. Iowa State has scored in the 80s in 7 of its 8 games this season, and just scored 132 points against Alcorn State. If those shots keep falling, Purdue will have its hands full in this one. I love getting points with an elite offense, as it’s not like Iowa State needs the help. This has a chance to be a high scoring back and forth contest. I want the points in my pocket. Give me the Cyclones.
