Illinois vs. Purdue prediction for Tuesday, February 8
The matchup between Illinois and Purdue went to double overtime less than a month ago. This duel is always close as well. I would pound the Illini +6.
If you are looking for great value in a moneyline bet, look no further than Illinois at +210. A top 15 team that has only lost to Purdue one time since Kofi Cockburn joined the program, and that was in double overtime, is getting +210 odds. That is insane. If you are up for a gamble, take Illinois +210.
The over-under is intriguing. 146 means both teams roughly score 73 points. I see this being a lower-scoring affair than that. Illinois’ defense has been playing well lately, so they should hold Purdue to below 70 points in this game. I would take the under 146.
