Purdue vs Florida State Prediction & Pick

The Boilermakers have simply been a wrecking ball this season. Their offense runs through Edey, a 7-foot-4 center who towers over the competition. His presence around the rim creates open shots for his teammates as Purdue currently ranks 25th in the country when it comes to offensive efficiency.

Florida State has struggled to find any success on the court. The Seminoles rank outside the top 200 NCAA teams in statistical categories like points per game (66.1), shooting percentage (42.1%) and turnovers per game (14.4). A lackluster offense will kill any chances of an upset on Wednesday night.

Final Score Prediction: Purdue: 75 | Florida State: 55

Purdue vs Florida State Best Bet

It's been mentioned how stellar Purdue's offense has looked this season, but it's important to keep in mind that its defense has looked even better. The Boilermakers are allowing 59.5 points per game (No. 30 in NCAA) on a 37.3% shooting mark (No. 19 in NCAA). It doesn't get much better than that.

Florida State has scored 60 or less points in each of its last two games, so seeing them shoot the ball well on Wednesday would be a bit of a surprise. Overall, the Seminoles are a dismal 1-8 against the spread (ATS) in their last eight games and 0-5 ATS in their last five games against a Big Ten opponent.

Bet: Purdue Boilermakers -15.5 (-106)
