I can’t bet against my Boilers although I have some doubts tonight. Anyway, I played over Nelson 11.5, over Sears 19.5, over Fletcher 13.5, I’ve been hot on the player props, those are my picks. Let’s go Purdue, had a buddy tell me to come over for the Tyson/Paul fight, told him I’ll see him after the Purdue game.
Alabama -2.5

I hate to say it, but I am not worried about winning tonight. I am more interested in how the team functions, particularly in terms of team D and rim protection, rebounding, containment of the dribble, and limiting turnovers.
Not disagreeing, I think those two will score though, hopefully the others are shut down, Sears is a great player, fun to watch, hope he is contained somewhat. Purdue at home can win this.
I do agree that Bama has a very good team this year. But I also think ppl are really downplaying the effect that Mackey will have on Bama as well. They have likely NEVER played in an environment like this before- SEC road games are not the same. I think the home crowd will keep Purdue in this.
When is the last time Purdue was a home dog at Mackey? I bet it's been a few years.
I found the answer on X (Twitter=truth). It was 1/22/21 against Michigan. Purdue was unranked and 11-6 and Michigan was ranked #7. They were favored by 5 and they won by 17.
