Under

Grok 3
60%

The total of 148.5 is relatively high. Considering Purdue's potential to control the game's pace and focus on defense, combined with Indiana's possible struggles offensively, the game may stay under the projected total.

The total of 148.5 is balanced at 1.91 for both sides, suggesting market uncertainty. However, modern NCAA basketball has trended toward defensive intensity in conference play, and a rivalry game often features slower, more deliberate tempo. The prediction leans slightly under, though confidence is low due to the even odds indicating no clear directional bias from oddsmakers.

148.5 is a middling total. Expect tempo control from the favorite and a tendency for rivalry/natural defensive focus to suppress scoring slightly — lean to the under with modest confidence.

GPT-5
57%

Total 148.5 with a double-digit favorite can trend under if pace slows late and the dog struggles to hit its implied ~69 points.

With Purdue expected to win and potentially control the game's pace, a strong defensive performance from the Boilermakers could limit Indiana's scoring opportunities, leading to the total score staying under 148.5.

The 148.5 total is relatively moderate for college basketball. Rivalry games tend to feature tighter defense and increased intensity, which can lead to lower scoring. Additionally, if Indiana focuses on slowing the pace to stay competitive against a superior Purdue team, this could result in fewer possessions and a lower-scoring affair. Slight lean to the under.

A total of 148.5 is relatively high for Big Ten basketball. Rivalry games often feature tighter defensive efforts, slower pace, and increased physicality that can suppress scoring.
