The No. 2 ranked Ohio State Buckeyes (7-1) will host the Purdue Boilermakers (1-7) on Saturday.
Purdue is 0-5 in conference play and has not won a game since their season opening dismantling of Indiana State. Since that time they have been blown out numerous times, though have had a few close games of late.
Ohio State’s only loss came in mid-October to No. 1 ranked Oregon on the road. Since then they have beaten Nebraska and Penn State by a combined 11 points.
The oddsmakers have Ohio State as a 38 point favorite. Ohio State scored 38 or more points in their first four contests but have not topped 35 since despite going 3-1 in that span. Purdue has failed to score 10 or more points in three of it’s seven losses.

Ohio State should have no problem defeating Purdue. The question is whether or not they will cover the spread.
