In addition to Carsen Edwards being back, the Boilermakers are loaded with returning talent that had to stay on the bench a lot simply because last season's Purdue team was loaded with seniors.

While the Cardinals should hang around in this game, it is the total that is intriguing from a betting perspective. Ball State has a knack for high-scoring games both in non-conference November action. The Cardinals have plenty of scoring firepower but, of course, will struggle to stop the highly-talented Big Ten foe they're facing Saturday.
Given the above, look for plenty of points in this one as Ball State hangs around and makes a game of this one. That said, the best bet (value) is to play the over with a projected final score of Purdue Boilermakers 83, Ball State Cardinals 76
