NCAA-F | Purdue vs Ohio State
Play on: Ohio State -20½ -110 at SC Consensus
Saturday CFB Free play. My selection is on Ohio State minus the points over Purdue at 3:30 pm et on Saturday.
The Buckeyes are coming off consecutive unimpressive wins over Penn State and Nebraska, failing to cover the spread on both occasions. Here, I look for them to keep up their winning ways, but in far more convincing fashion as they host Purdue on Saturday afternoon. The Boilermakers are in a classic letdown spot here after 'upsetting' Michigan State at home last Saturday (you could argue whether that was a true upset or not). While I do like the Boilers as a team, they've been very inconsistent this season, particularly on the offensive side of the football. After scoring 40 points last week, I believe they'll be hard-pressed to approach 20 points in this one as I look for Ohio State to build an early lead and then pin its ears back on defense and put Purdue in its share of difficult situations on offense on Saturday. Keep in mind, Penn State is the only opponent that has managed to break 20 points against Ohio State over the last six games and it did so by bombing away 52 times - something I don't expect Purdue to do here (even though it did attempt 54 passes in last week's victory). Note that Purdue has averaged just a shade north of 20 points the last 20 times it has come off a game in which it threw for 375+ yards, as is the case here. After struggling ton the ground in last week's win in Nebraska, look for the Buckeyes to have little trouble salting this game away with its explosive rushing attack that averages 5.8 yards per rush at home this season. Take Ohio State.
