Purdue Boilermakers vs Wisconsin Badgers Betting Analysis

Jonathan Davis, Wisconsin’s best player, dominated the Boilermakers in the first contest. Davis went off for 37 points, 14 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals, and 3 blocks.

Davis showed that nobody on Purdue’s team can stop him, which gives the advantage to Wisconsin. If the Boilermaker try and stop Davis, the rest of the Badgers are good enough to pick up the slack.

If Purdue doesn’t try and stop Davis, he could again score close to 40. Almost as important in this game is the fact the Badgers have gone 4-1 ATS in their last 5 and Purdue is 0-3-2 ATS in their last 5.

This game is for the Big Ten Regular Season title. So expect both teams to give it their all. But the home team has Purdue’s number. Wisconsin wins and covers.
