The Boilermakers are the finest offensive team in the country, owing in large part to big man Trevion Williams, who established himself as a go-to scorer in the paint. Purdue also causes a lot of damage on the offensive boards, which is a problem for Nebraska this season. In this matchup on Thursday night, take the Boilermakers to cover the spread at home. The #7 Purdue Boilermakers will win but miss to cover the ATS 87-71.
