Gonzaga vs Purdue computer projections
Gonzaga is a 5.5-point favorite over Purdue in Las Vegas, but our computer projections have the Bulldogs winning by less than five points, 79.12-74.36. That makes the Boilermakers +5.5 a narrow lean at 51%, and Purdue has won all five meetings in the series, including an 80-68 Sweet 16 victory in the 2024 NCAA Tournament.
That projected final adds up to 153.48 combined points, just under the 154.5 total, which gives the Under a slight edge at 52%. Both teams are playing their season opener, so this is a thin margin either way.
Both team totals are projected to go Over. Gonzaga's 79.12 clears its 78.5 line (73%), and Purdue's 74.36 clears 73.5 (72%). The two team totals add up to 152, so they sit comfortably alongside a full-game Under of 154.5.
