Rutgers vs. Purdue odds: Pick, prediction, spread for Big Ten Tournament Semifinals

The quarterfinal round of the 2023 Big Ten Tournament will get tip off on Friday with the No. 1 Purdue Boilermakers battling the No. 9 Rutgers Scarlet Knights at noon ET. The game will take place at the United Center in Chicago and will air on the Big Ten Network.

Let's take a look at the odds and lines on DraftKings Sportsbook and make some picks.

Rutgers vs. Purdue odds in Big Ten Quarterfinals

Spread: Purdue -5.5
Over/Under: 128.5
Moneyline: Purdue -230, Rutgers +195

The Pick: Rutgers +5.5

Purdue found itself in several tight ballgames at the end of the regular season and will now be matched up against a Rutgers that it fell to back on January 2. The Scarlet Knights had an opportunity to get into a rhythm with Thursday's 62-50 victory over Michigan and will be game to take the fight right to the Big Ten regular season champs. Rutgers is 18-13-1 against the spread this season, so that's a good sign for the team covering on Friday and I'll lean with them to do just that.
