|---|---|
| NEBRASKA | -110 |
| PURDUE | -110 |
Purdue is currently the 12th-best team in the country with a 19-4 record. This is due to their 3rd ranked offense, orchestrated by Braden Smith.
After starting the non-conference 10-1, they have dropped 3 of their last 5 games with notable losses to unranked UCLA and Indiana. After surviving a scare from last-place Oregon, worries are still looming over the Boilermakers. Their offense has shown signs of weakness, with the Boilermakers unable to reach 70 points in 3 of their last 5 games. This matchup vs Nebraska is a must-win to keep any hopes alive of a Big 10 regular-season title.
Nebraska is currently ranked 9th in the nation at 21-2. Their balanced offense, prioritizing shooting and passing, has made them the surprise of the year. They were one of six teams that entered 2026 undefeated.
The Cornhuskers have been battle-tested in their recent fixtures. Their only two losses have come in close conference games to top-ranked Michigan and Illinois. They are looking to show that they can win these marquee matchups and cement themselves in the top tier of the Big 10
Though both teams have dropped games recently, Purdue's losses look more concerning than Nebraska's. With the recent offensive struggles Purdue is facing, we believe that Nebraska will be able to win a shootout. Our pick is Nebraska moneyline (-110).
