Score Projection: Indiana 41 – Purdue 10
Win Probability: Indiana 95%, Purdue 5%
Indiana should be able to win this game and create separation in doing so on Friday night. The Hoosiers have a much more reliable offense and a defense that will be fresher in the second half of this contest. I recommend laying the points with the Hoosiers in this game as they should lock up a spot in the Big Ten title game while making a case to move up to number one in the country.
