Ohio State vs Purdue Head-to-Head this season

The Boilermakers won both contests between these teams. They pulled out a close win at Ohio State and later blew the doors off the Buckeyes at Mackey arena.

Our Betting Pick for Today – Bet the Boilermakers -7

The Ohio State Buckeyes are talented and should have been much better this season. Over this week they have lived up to what they were supposed to be. I think Ohio State will put up a huge battle against the top-seeded Boilermakers. In the end, a fourth game in as many days leads to tired legs. The Buckeyes run out of gas at the end and lose, take Purdue to pull out the cover.
