Ohio State vs Memphis Tigers NCAA Football Odds
The Ohio State Buckeyes are having a remarkable 2013 college football season. Needless to say, the Purdue Boilermakers are not. Entering Week 10, the Buckeyes are 8-0 and come in as the No. 4 team in the country.
NCAA Basketball Matchup: Purdue vs Ohio St.
Purdue and Ohio State split the season series last year. The Buckeyes beat the Boilermakers by 23 at home, but Purdue returned the favor by winning by 13 in West Lafayette. Purdue sits at just 5-5 in the Big Ten so far this year.
Ohio State vs. Purdue
Last time Ohio State came to Purdue, they lost despite being 12 point favorites. The Buckeyes enter this one with a young team, but they are playing pretty well after a slow start to the season. Purdue is 0-4 on the road this year, but they are 4-1 at home.
The Boilers will look to get back on track with the help of their home crowd in this one.

Ohio State lost three out of four games earlier this year, and it appeared the season was going to fall apart in no time. Coach Luke Fickell turned to Braxton Miller as the starting quarterback, and the team re-dedicated itself to the running game. The Buckeyes pulled a couple upsets over Illinois and Wisconsin, and then defeated Indiana at home last week. Ohio State hasn’t been throwing the football much at all, but they really haven’t needed to throw the ball. The offensive line is healthy and they are blocking very well. Dan Herron has been extremely impressive since returning from his suspension. Herron has 415 yards in just three games.
The Ohio State defense isn’t quite as dominating as they have been in the last couple years, but they are still very good. The Buckeyes come into this game ranked 16th in the nation in total defense. John Simon has emerged as a star on the defensive front, and Bradley Roby has stepped up in the secondary. Expect Ohio State to key in on the run this week.
Purdue was absolutely blasted in their last two games at Michigan and at Wisconsin. The Boilermakers offense has never really gotten going very well this year. The running game is pretty good, but the passing game has been very inconsistent. Caleb TerBush has seen most of the playing time at quarterback this year. [soliloquy id=”82219″]
Antavian Edison, Justin Siller, and OJ Ross are all solid receivers, but Purdue is lacking a deep threat. The Boilermakers rely heavily on Ralph Bolden and Akeem Shavers in the running game. If Purdue is going to be successful this weekend, they’ll need to be able to run the football on Ohio State.
The Boilermakers defense lost its star from last year when Ryan Kerrigan graduated. Ricardo Allen leads a very talented Purdue secondary, but the front seven has struggled in the last few weeks. Purdue is giving up 191 yards per on the ground. Ohio State will test the Boilermakers run defense in this one. Purdue will have to load the box and attempt to make Braxton Miller beat them with his arm.
Ohio State is very happy to control the football and run it every single time right now. Purdue will also look to run the football almost every time. The clock should be rolling along quickly in this one. I think this game stays low scoring.

NCAAB: PURDUE PULLING IN PROFITS
The Purdue Boilermakers have been a bettor’s best friend lately and they’ll be looking to increase profits when they visit the Ohio State Buckeyes on Tuesday night.
The Boilermakers are on a six-game winning streak, all in the Big Ten, and have gone 5-1 against the spread (ATS) in that span. That recent streak isn’t surprising for smart wagerers who know that Purdue is an incredible 27-9-1 ATS in their last 37 conference games.
