Against The Spread Pick: Purdue Boilermakers -29½
Despite the large spread from college basketball lines, the Boilermakers should have no issue covering at home against Eastern Kentucky, where they are undefeated this season. The Colonels have struggled against tougher teams, most recently allowing 111 points to Alabama. Purdue should be another tall task, with slowing 7-foot-4 Zach Edey the biggest issue for Eastern Kentucky.
The Boilermakers also just faced another Atlantic Sun team in Jacksonville, finishing with one of their best offensive performances this season by scoring 100 points on 51.5% shooting. With Eastern Kentucky struggling in its start and Purdue playing well at home so far, it should be a good college basketball bet to cover the spread.
