Oregon vs. Purdue Prediction, Picks & Odds | College Basketball Picks Today (Feb. 7)
Two struggling teams that are a combined 1-7 in their last eight games meet in a Big Ten showdown as I make my best Oregon vs. Purdue prediction.
No. 12 Purdue is a 19.5-point betting favorite against an Oregon squad that has lost eight consecutive games. Tipoff from Mackey Arena in West Lafayette, Ind. is set for 1 p.m. ET (CBS). With the point spread being so high, I am making a contrarian play on the Over despite both teams being profitable to the Under this season.

💰 Oregon vs. Purdue best bet: Over 144.5 (-110) ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Check out all of our college basketball analysis and expert predictions this season.
Big Ten coaches often complain about the league’s rugged schedule. But neither Dana Altman or Matt Painter can complain about having this past week off, and fresh legs should result in a high-scoring game.
Despite having lost three of its last four, Purdue still ranks second in the country in adjusted offensive efficiency, while owning the best effective field goal percentage and turnover rate in Big Ten play.
The Over has cashed in 75% of Purdue’s home games since the start of last season (21-7), and should be the right side of the total again today.
Score prediction: Purdue 83, Oregon 67
🔥 Best Oregon vs. Purdue player prop: Braden Smith, Purdue, Under 8.5 assists (-125) ⭐⭐⭐
Braden Smith is one of two players in college basketball to average 15 points and five assists with a 50% field goal percentage and 40% 3-point percentage.
While it may seem counterintuitive to back the Under on his assists despite backing the Over as our best game bet, this line is an overreaction to him setting the all-time Big Ten record for assists.
Smith faces an Oregon defense that allows assists on just 49% of made field goals, the second-lowest rate in Big Ten play. In addition, Smith has six or fewer assists in four of the last five games.
