Purdue at Washington picks and predictions
Prediction
Purdue 81, Washington 68
Moneyline
Purdue (-350) will cost you 3 1/2 times your potential return, and that’s way too expensive for a standalone bet or to put into a multi-leg parlay, unless you were to do something crazy like an 8-team parlay or more.
PASS.
