Purdue vs. Indiana NCAAF Week 14 Preview
Purdue Boilermakers Betting Preview: One Last Punching Bag
Positive remarks are hard to come by in West Lafayette.
Head coach Ryan Walters leads the Boilermakers into the season finale on a 10-game losing streak. Purdue has one win against the spread since October 18.
The Boilermakers have been a punching bag for just about every team in conference play. As an underdog of 30 or more, Purdue is 0-3 ATS. The team finds itself in a similar situation against Indiana.
The program's offenses under Jeff Brohm would keep things interesting when Purdue was a large underdog; the 2024 version doesn't have a pulse.
Purdue ranks bottom-10 nationally in Quality Drives, and it can't pass the ball worth a lick — two big reasons why the Boilermakers haven't been a solid bet against the spread this season.
Indiana Hoosiers Betting Preview: Letdown Spot?
How will Indiana respond in Week 14? That's the big question bettors are wondering ahead of the regular-season finale.
Head coach Curt Cignetti's club was perfect entering Week 13 before getting outworked in Columbus by Ohio State. Still, Indiana has gone 8-3 against the spread and is very well capable of covering big numbers due to strong presences on both sides.
For instance, quarterback Kurtis Rourke leads a Hoosiers offense that ranks No. 1 in Pass Success. When Indiana gets near the red zone it usually capitalizes, ranking No. 2 in Finishing Drives.
Defensively, the Hoosiers are top-five in Rush Success Rate allowed and Line Yards while also sitting just outside the top 10 in Quality Drives.

Purdue vs. Indiana Pick, Best Bets

We've tracked the Hoosiers as the smart side in the early part of the cycle, as Cignetti's club is bringing in a ton of respected bets against the spread. Indiana's more than a four-touchdown favorite and still bringing in pro bets.
