Purdue vs Nebraska Prediction
In this Purdue vs Nebraska Prediction, Nebraska is coming as -1.5 home favorites. Nebraska has been the better team this season and have been almost perfect at home with just one loss in 13 home games played. They have lost two of their last three games and are 2-3 against the spread in their last 5, while Purdue has back-to-back wins following a three-game losing streak, but have been struggling against the spread, with a 1-8 ATS record in their last 9. I see no value on either side and both teams are 12-4 to the under in their last 16 games combined, as they both play excellent defense throughout the season. Take the under 147.5 points in this one.
