ANALYSIS: The Over has cashed in Purdue's last four games, and Purdue is only 2-7 against-the-spread in its last nine, which includes both Boilermaker losses. Illinois has looked like the best Big Ten team in winning its last six (5-1 ATS). Both teams are loaded with offense and like to play quickly, but, in such a big game, I’m looking for both stellar defenses to help slow the pace. The Under is 5-1 in Purdue's last six game as an underdog. Under is the top play.
