Washington vs Purdue Prediction
It’s hard to take the Washington Huskies seriously after their last three games, where they’re 0-3 SU and ATS. Washington has allowed 81 or more points in all three of those losses. Washington’s defense struggling isn’t what you want to see with Purdue coming to town. Purdue is 14th in offensive field goal percentage and 12th in offensive three-point percentage. The Purdue Boilermakers are also 4-0 SU and ATS in their last four games. Purdue is also 5-2 ATS in its last seven games as a favorite. This feels like two teams heading in different directions. I’ll side with the Boilermakers in a road double-digit victory.
