Rutgers Scarlet Knights vs. Purdue Boilermakers Betting Predictions Edge

  • Rutgers has won their last four games against the Boilermakers, including an overtime victory on the road.
  • Rutgers has already upset Purdue this season at home.
  • Books opened this one at Purdue -12.5 and Gambling911 has a line of -11.5, so do bet Rutgers here at +12.5.

Purdue has won 8 of their last 9 games but have failed to cover the spread in four of their last five.

The Boilermakers are 4-8 in their last twelve games Against The Spread as a double digit favorite.

Rutgers win over the Fighting Illini was 70-59.  The 16-9 Scarlett Knights run is almost sure to get Steve Pikiell's team a ranking for the first time this season and a berth in the NCAA Tournament for a second straight season.

“All the credit in the world to them,” Illinois coach Brad Underwood said. “That was that was something my team hasn’t seen in a long, long time ... They deserve all the credit. We had no life, no spirit and no fight.”

Following a sluggish start the Scarlett Knights are covering in 70% of their recent games, compared to just 10% their first ten of the season.
