Will Purdue’s Big Ten Misery Continue?

The Purdue Boilermakers have had a horrible season in 2024. They are 1-7 overall and 0-5 in the Big Ten. But the Boilermakers have been somewhat competitive recently, losing two of their last three games in overtime to Northwestern and Illinois. While Purdue has been playing better lately, they still haven’t found a way to break through against a Big Ten opponent and they will aim to change that and shock the world against Ohio State this week.

Ohio State Looks to Build On Huge Win

Last week, the Ohio State Buckeyes got a huge win on the road against Penn State in a battle of top-five teams. The Buckeyes defense was great in that game, helping Ohio State to improve to 7-1 overall and 4-1 in the Big Ten. This week, the Buckeyes will be expected to dominate on both sides of the ball, which they should do as long as they don’t take this game for granted on Saturday.

Purdue vs Ohio State Best Bet

We are going to lay the points with Ohio State in Saturday’s Purdue vs Ohio State matchup from Columbus. The Buckeyes are playing much better football than Purdue at this point in time and Ohio State can benefit from the momentum of their win over Penn State in this contest as well. Look for the Buckeyes defense to keep Purdue in check throughout this game and for Ohio State to win by somewhere around 40 points in a game where they could use the style points.
