Purdue Boilermakers vs Wisconsin Badgers prediction
The Purdue Boilermakers are the better team at both ends of the floor, and you can argue they’re the best team in the country overall. You’re also not going to get Purdue often this season with lines this soft. With all that said, Wisconsin is far from a pushover and has the offensive horses to push Purdue. The Wisconsin Badgers are also 11-1 SU at home this season and even with an early start, the Kohl Center is going to be rocking and rolling. Massive game for Wisconsin and its resume with March approaching. I’ll grab the free bucket in what should be a fun Big Ten clash.
