EAST LANSING, Mich. – The Purdue Boilermakers visit the Michigan State Spartans for some Friday night football in a battle of two low-scoring teams.

The total is set at 48.0 for this matchup and the last two games for both of these teams have gone over this line. Purdue has allowed the second most points per game this season at 43.2, and Michigan State has allowed 28.3.

Even though the over has hit in 60% of Purdue’s games and 50% of Michigan State’s games this season, the under is easily the best bet offered by legal football betting sites for this matchup.

After week three, Michigan State’s offense has averaged 14.1 points per game.

Purdue has averaged 17.2 points per game this season which is tied for the sixth least in college football. They are also tied in sixth for the least number of total points this season. Not too far behind is Michigan State, tied for the 13th least points scored.

While Purdue’s defense has been taking a beating this season, they have not had the easiest schedule over the last few games.

In their last four-game stretch, the Boilermakers have faced Oregon, Ohio State, and Penn State. The Spartans have also not had a particularly easy schedule. Three of their last six opponents have included Ohio State, Oregon, and Indiana.

With these brutal matchups against offensive powerhouses, it is no shocker that these games for Purdue and Michigan State have been high-scoring. With a combined average of 36.6 points per game this season, look for Purdue and Michigan State to stay under 48 total points this week and take advantage of the high total set by legal sports betting sites.

Along with the under in this game, Purdue to score less than 7.5 first-half points is another great bet (-135 at Bovada). Purdue has only scored more than 7.5 first-half points in two games this season and those games were against Northwestern and Indiana State.
