That did not seem to be the case when they received back-to-back losses to the unranked pair of Tennessee and Western Kentucky, but the Boilermakers quickly found their groove, bouncing back from those losses with two-straight wins against No. 2 Arizona and No. 12 Louisville. Since then, the Boilermakers have not lost a game (pending the Wisconsin contest on Tuesday). They are 5-0 SU and 4-1 ATS in their last five road games. Purdue boasts of a balanced offense and defense that was very well manifested during their 81-47 decimation of the Minnesota Gophers on Jan. 13. The Boilermakers are 15<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">th<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in the nation in scoring (85.0) and ninth in defense with only 62.7 points allowed per game.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Betting on the Iowa Hawkeyes (10-9)<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s safe to say that the Hawkeyes are going nowhere this season, mostly because their defense is whack. They are giving up 76.2 points per game \u2013 the most in the conference. The same can\u2019t be said about their offense, however. Iowa is generating 81.9 points per game and is shooting 48.3 percent from the field. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Iowa is an aggressive team on offense, which is why the Hawkeyes makes a ton of trip the foul line each game. In their 104-97 win over Illinois on Jan. 11, the Hawkeyes went 33-for-40 from the foul line, while the Fighting Illini were only 11-for-14 from the charity stripe. Iowa is likely going to try to put Purdue\u2019s top players into foul trouble early, and if that happens, the Hawkeyes will have more confidence on offense.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Iowa is 4-0 SU and 3-1 ATS in its last four home game against Purdue, so the location seems to be a real advantage for the Hawkeyes. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Writer\u2019s Prediction:<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Purdue wins, 87-71.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n<p class=\"pvc_stats all \" data-element-id=\"152573\" style=\"\"><i class=\"pvc-stats-icon medium\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" data-prefix=\"far\" data-icon=\"chart-bar\" role=\"img\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 512 512\" class=\"svg-inline--fa fa-chart-bar fa-w-16 fa-2x\"><path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M396.8 352h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V108.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v230.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zm-192 0h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V140.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v198.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zm96 0h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V204.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v134.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zM496 400H48V80c0-8.84-7.16-16-16-16H16C7.16 64 0 71.16 0 80v336c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h464c8.84 0 16-7.16 16-16v-16c0-8.84-7.16-16-16-16zm-387.2-48h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8v-70.4c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v70.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8z\" class=\"\"><\/path><\/svg><\/i> &nbsp;2,318&nbsp;total views, &nbsp;2&nbsp;views today<\/p>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>No. 3 Purdue is on the rise.
