The Purdue Boilermakers raced out to a 50-41 halftime lead, and never looked back, as our 4* Elite play on PURDUE OVER 151.5 soared Over the 151.5 total. That one was easy but our 3* Selection on Auburn -4.5 fell flat as the Tigers lost for just the 3rd time all season. We are kicking ourselves for falling into that trap as the Aggies needed the game badly while the Tigers have the Conference Championship sewn up. Our 2* Releases went 2-1 with KY stomping a pitiful LSU squad, in a perfect bounceback spot, and with the underrated BYU Cougars taking care of Iowa St on the road in double OT as a 9.5 point underdog. We are keeping a keen eye on BYU going forward as the oddsmakers continue to underestimate this contingent. Finally, in possibly our worst call of the season, we lost the other 2* while backing a terrible Seton Hall club in a home no-show effort. Adding 3 Units on Tuesday brings our 9 Day record to a stellar 28-8 for PLUS 54 UNITS. As we keep saying these runs are rare, but we are seeing things clearly right now and look to keep it rolling on Wednesday.
4* ELITE: Purdue: OVER 151.5 (100-71) WIN
3* VERY STRONG: Auburn -4.5 (72-83) LOSS
2* Strong: KY -12.5 (95-64) WIN
2* STRONG: BYU +9.5 (88-85 2OT) WIN
2* STRONG: Seton Hall +10 (61-79) LOSS
WRITEUP: 3-4-25: 4* ELITE – Purdue/Rutgers OVER 151.5
Purdue shoots the ball well at home, and tends to play faster, and Rutgers will be more than happy to oblige. This looks like a shootout with the Boilers going 11-4 overall to the OVER at Home (8-1 in conference play), while Scarlet Knights games have exceeded 160 points in their last 3. Rutgers has an overall record of 10-4 to the OVER on the Road. We see a track meet unfolding here as neither squad is considered a defensive Juggernaut and the pace should be brisk. In the end this contest easily finds the 160’s.
