Sitting at 1-7 and winless in Big Ten play, Purdue will limp into Ohio Stadium on Saturday with Ohio State massively favored to take care of business against the Boilermakers. According to the Action Network, the Buckeyes enter the week as 38.5-point favorites against the struggling Boilermakers after the spread opened at 34.5 points.
After securing a massive win over Penn State in a top-five matchup on Saturday, Ohio State moved to 7-1 on the season. However, the Buckeyes are just 4-4 against the spread and has failed to cover in two of its last three games — though they did cover the 3-point mark against the Nittany Lions at Beaver Stadium.
