Free Sports Game Preview and Prediction: Purdue vs. Ohio State

Play: Point Spread: -3.0/-106 Purdue
Free Pick on Purdue - I really like the value here with the Boilermakers as a small road favorite against the Buckeyes. I believe Purdue is one of the 15 best teams in the country and are simply undervalued here after an overtime loss at home to Minnesota as a 14-point favorite. The Boilermakers simply got off to a bad start in that one. It's going to have them locked in on the road here against a Ohio State squad that I haven't been all that impressed with. Purdue is a team that has arguably the best frontcourt in the country with Caleb Swanigan, Isaac Haas and Vince Edwards. The Boilermakers rank 20th in scoring (84.5 ppg) 31st in rebounding (40.3 rpg) and 2nd in assists (20.3 apg). Ohio State simply doesn't have the size inside to handle this trio for Purdue and while they have some talented guards, they don't shoot the 3-ball well. The Buckeyes only average 6 made 3-pointers a game and are shooting just 32.6% from long-distance. That's going to make it extremely hard for Ohio State to consistently get good looks here. Boilermakers are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 as a road favorite of 6.5 or less and 5-0 ATS in their last 5 road games after 3 or more games at home. Buckeyes are 2-13 ATS in their last 15 at least 15 games into the season against a dominant rebounding team that is outrebounding opponents by 4+ rebounds per game. Take Purdue!
