#12 Northern Iowa vs. #5 Purdue Pick

Round of 64: Northern Iowa Panthers vs. Purdue Boilermakers

So will it be N. Iowa's 14-4 Missouri Valley conference record winning this one on Thursday or will it be Purdue's underachieving 11-7 big 10 record? Tell me who wins and why in your opinion...

I'm going to take Purdue in this one. Purdue defeated Ohio State 65-61 as a 5.5-point favorite in the Big Ten Tournament final on Sunday and I think they ride that wave of momentum into this matchup

Vegas likes Purdue too...they're 8 point favs.

Purdue wins, too much momentum on their side here, though they lose next round I think, cuz they're too inconsistent

You always love to pick one of those 12-5 upsets, but not here. Purdue looked strong wiining the Big Ten tournament and will carry that at least into the second round.

Eagles inc, and the rest of ya, you're all ............RIGHT!

Here's the latest lines I just found

Northern Iowa Panthers +8 (-110), +320 (Moneyline)
Purdue Boilermakers -8 (-110), -400 (Moneyline)


Boilermakers ride the moooomentum of their beating of the afforementioned overrated Ohio State 65-61 --- win by 10

Sorry fella's...Purdue wins but does not cover.

Line moving Purdue's way...this may be a good place to win some money, take the points!
