Since the calendar flipped to 2021, Wisconsin is 0-6 against ranked teams. The Badgers enter having dropped three of four (1-3 ATS) and those were at home (the losses, anyway). Purdue is surging, on a three-game SU & ATS winning streak and controls its destiny for a double-bye in the Big Ten Tournament. It has allowed 72 points of fewer in all 13 of its games since the calendar turned. The Boilers' only home loss this season was to excellent Michigan. The home team is 5-1-1 ATS in the past seven in this series and we think that continues.

The Badgers have lost four of six, the two victories coming against Nebraska and Northwestern. Since a loss at Michigan, the Boilermakers have won five of seven with the losses coming by one and three points. In fact, Purdue is 9-1 at home with the only blemish coming against the Wolverines. Look for the home team to improve to 6-1-1 ATS in the past eight meetings.
