(NCAAB) Purdue vs. Rutgers,
Point Spread: 6.00 | -107.00 Rutgers (Home)
Result: Loss
This is an 8* SITUATIONAL DESTRUCTION on Rutgers.

While I do think the outright win isn't out of the question, I will in the end recommend grabbing as many points as you can as I look for the home side to at the very least sneak in through the back door down the stretch with what I deem to be a healthy amount of points afforded to it in this matchup. On paper, these two teams are not close at all, Rutgers is 10-15 overall and just 2-10 in Big Ten action, while Purdue is 15-9 overall and 7-4 in league play. I simply feel that this is a great spot for the home side and think Purdue, which had won five straight befor stumbling last time out, will come in a bit flat here, the exact factor that RU (and us!), can take advantage of. Rutgers fell 79-60 to No. 20 Ohio State on Sunday night, not able to keep pace down the stretch; a bright spot was the 15 turnovers that the Scarlet Knights forced though. This sets up as classic letdown spot in my opinion for the Boilermakers, their five game win skein was snapped in a 62-58 setback at Minnesota on Saturday, Purdue's sloppy play saw it finish with 23 turnovers. Also note that Purdue is a poor 6-8 ATS in its last 14 vs. teams with losing records, while Rutgers is already 9-7 ATS when playing the role of underdog this season. In my opinion, the situation, the numbers and the trends all do all indeed point to the SCARLET KNIGHTS as the savvy move in this one.
