This line is pricing Purdue's ranking, not Iowa's home edge. The Hawkeyes have won 14 of their last 15 at Carver and consistently control tempo early. Purdue is off an emotional OT win over a Top-10 team - a classic flat spot on the road. Iowa leads the Big Ten in turnover margin (+4.0), and that pressure can rattle even elite backcourts. With Stirtz steady at home, the number feels shaded to the badge. Proven home efficiency catching points is value.
Good Luck!
