The Purdue Boilermakers have the tools to win the Big-10 Conference. They had a bad two game stretch which was responsible for both their losses on the season, but have otherwise run the table at 13-2. Purdue hosts Rutgers tonight, and the Boilermakers have won and covered three straight games. That may be bad news, however, as a team off three straight wins and covers and playing as a home favorite of -18 or more in a conference game, cover just 43% of the time. Rutgers has been a pesky team vs. some very good teams, as they played Michigan State to within 10, and beat Seton Hall. The Scarlet Knights should be able to hang inside of an inflated number here as well. Take the points on Rutgers.
