Play On: Purdue -11.0 (5*)

This line jumped right off the page at me. It’s been a long while since I can recollect a Leonard Hamilton coached Florida State team being this sizable of an underdog. After careful examination, I can fully understand why. The only game Florida State played versus a ranked team this season they were soundly beaten by 16 at #14 Florida. Furthermore, the Seminoles escaped with a 1-point win over Boston University in their previous outing an in a game they closed as a 17.0-point home favorite.

Purdue is the real deal. The Boilermakers are an experienced team that’s 6-0 to start the season, covered 5 of those 6 contests, and have shot 50% or better in all those contests. Their lone non-cover came in a 92-67 win over Indiana State as an enormous 26.0-point home favorite. Purdue has also made an outstanding 43.5% of their 3-point shots and 76.1% of its free throw attempts. Additionally, the Boilermakers have been dominant on the boards with an off the charts +17 rebound per game advantage. Bet Purdue minus the points.
