Against the spread
Purdue is 0-3 ATS over its last 3 games. The last 17 times that has happened, the Boilermakers have gone 5-12 ATS in their next game. Indiana is 4-2 ATS in Big Ten games and 7-3 ATS when playing teams averaging more-than-77 points per contest.
Over the last 4 series meetings, IU is 3-1 straight up and 4-0 vs. the spread. ATS wins over Kansas and Ohio State fit as decent comps for this game against an offense-1st top-10 Purdue team.
The Boilermakers should present a big challenge for the Hoosiers on the boards, but IU does well with its near-proximity defense and in getting to the foul line. Purdue has had a couple clunkers on the road.
The early-open market moved quickly toward the Hoosiers. But there is still solid value in INDIANA +9.5 (-110).

Over/Under
We should expect an above-average pace with these playing styles. Other factors lay sort of flat without much margin in expected-vs. actual performance. The Under would have some value if this total creeped up to 153. Otherwise, PASS.
