Purdue vs. Houston odds: Current line, win probability, final score prediction, how to watch NCAA Tournament

The NCAA Tournament is advancing to the Sweet Sixteen. There, the Purdue Boilermakers and the Houston Cougars are lined up to take on one another in what should be an excellent matchup.

Purdue, a four-seed in the NCAA Tournament, has yet to see a team that wasn’t a double-digit seed. In those games, the Boilermakers faced excellent upset bids, but ended up walking away with multiple double-digit point wins. Houston, meanwhile, came into the tournament as a one-seed and got all it could handle from Gonzaga in the second round, winning a tight game to avoid the major upset.

All eyes will be on Houston and Purdue in the Sweet Sixteen. Ahead of that game, here’s a look at the odds, current line, win probability, and how to watch the game.
