Friday, Jan. 13's NCAA basketball schedule includes Big Ten action between the No. 3 Purdue Boilermakers and the Nebraska Cornhuskers.

Purdue has won back-to-back games since its first loss of the season, most recently defeating Penn State 76-63 on Sunday. Meanwhile, Nebraska has struggled to find consistency this season and enters tonight's game fresh off a 76-50 loss to Illinois three nights ago.

Purdue vs Nebraska Prediction & Pick

Purdue is too good of a team to be upset by struggling Nebraska. The Boilermakers have a solid offense (75.9 PPG, T-No. 58) and are great at creating separation, proven by their plus-14.4 scoring margin (No. 7). The Cornhuskers' attack hasn't come close to looking that good, being held to fewer than 60 points in two of their last three games.

Nebraska also only shoots the ball worse on the road (42.2%) than it does at home (46.0%). Any misses will prove to be costly tonight considering how Purdue averages the sixth-most rebounds in the nation. The fact that the Cornhuskers average 13.1 turnovers per game (T-No. 197) should also result in the Boilermakers seeing more scoring opportunities.

With Purdue also winning seven straight home games against Nebraska, this is clearly the Boilermakers' game to lose.

Final Score Prediction: Purdue: 78 | BYU 65

Purdue vs Nebraska Best Bet

Purdue has experienced a ton of recent success against Nebraska, winning eight of the last 10 head-to-head matchups. Having said that, I don't have much faith in the Boilermakers covering the 14.5-point spread.

Purdue is 2-8 ATS in its last 10 games, 0-7 ATS in its last seven home outings and 2-10 ATS in its last 12 Big Ten contests. Furthermore, the Boilermakers only beat Nebraska by three points in their most recent meeting back in December.

Bet: Nebraska +14.5 (-105)
