Purdue Boilermakers vs Minnesota Golden Gophers Prediction, Odds & Picks

The Purdue Boilermakers travel to Minneapolis on Thursday to play a Big 10 Conference game against the Minnesota Golden Gophers. Minnesota is looking to defend their home court and get their first win in league play. Purdue is ranked #20 in the latest AP Top 25 poll and will look for a road win in this one. The spread is currently set at 6.5 points in favor of Purdue, but our best in-game bet is the total. The total is currently set at 136.5 points, and we expect the figure to stay below that.

Under 136.5 points is our best bet in the game because both teams play at an extremely slow pace and haven’t been anything special on offense. According to KenPom, Purdue ranks #303 in adjusted pace and #302 in average offensive possession length, while Minnesota ranks #360 in adjusted pace and #329 in average offensive possession length. Both teams will try to slow down the pace and play slowly, which will be great for the undersigned. The Golden Gophers are ranked #272 nationally in points per game at 67.9 and we don’t see them having a good offensive performance here. The total has gone down in 61.5 percent of Minnesota’s games this year, and we expect that trend to continue.
