Purdue vs Hofstra Betting Prediction
Although Purdue is a top-five program, the Pride are a decent mid-major team, so traveling to West Lafayette to play them is difficult. After his performance against Minnesota on Sunday, Zach Edey is one of the early favorites to win Player of the Year, and Pride must make an effort to limit him tonight.
This game should not be any different for the Boilermakers, who have won seven of their eight games this season by double digits. Expect the Boilermakers to easily win this game to extend their perfect record to 9-0.
