Purdue Boilermakers vs Indiana Hoosiers Prediction, Odds and Picks for Saturday, 11/30/24

The Purdue Boilermakers head south to battle the rival Indiana Hoosiers at Memorial Stadium in Bloomington. These teams play for 1 of the esteemed trophies in the Big Ten, the Old Oaken Bucket — which was established way back in 1925. On that date, nobody earned the bucket, as these teams played to a 0-0 tie. Purdue leads the all-time series 77-42-6, with the Boilermakers winning the past 4 in the series. However, Purdue has lost 10 consecutive games this season — last winning on Aug. 31 against Indiana State of the FCS in the opener. Purdue is just 2-8 against the spread in this 10-game losing skid, too, although it did cover in a 24-17 loss at Michigan State last week as a 14-point ‘dog.

Indiana is still very much in the mix for a College Football Playoff spot despite its first loss at Ohio State last weekend. The Hoosiers were rolled 38-15 in Columbus, failing to cover as +10.5 underdog. IU is now 0-2 ATS in the past 2 outings after an 8-game cover streak from Sept. 6-Nov. 2. The Hoosiers are likely to be plenty angry after the loss to Ohio State, and unfortunately for the Boilermakers, they are going to serve as a punching bag. Look for Indiana to treat its biggest rival rudely, covering a big number in the finale.
