Week 11 of the college football season sees the Purdue Boilermakers visiting the Ohio State Buckeyes.
Both of these teams won their games in week 10.
The Buckeyes opened up as 19.5 point favorites and that number is now up to 21. The total has gone from 60 to 62.5.
Purdue Boilermakers
Purdue has played pretty well so far this year and they have enjoyed being a spoiler. Can they do it again when they go against Ohio State?
The Boilermakers took care of the Michigan State Spartans last week by a score of 40-29. That loss by Sparty definitely had some folks surprised.
Against the Spartans, Aidan O’Connell looked very good. He finished the day 40/54 for 536 yards and 3 touchdown passes. It will be interesting to see how he carries that performance over when he goes against the Buckeyes.
Based on how many passing plays were called, it is fair to say that the running game was not a focal point on the offense. Something good that O’Connell did was he spread the football to a variety of different receivers. The leading receiver in the game was Demetress Bell who had 11 receptions for 217 yards.
Defensively, this team has played well throughout the year. I thought overall the unit looked decent against a very good offense in Michigan State. They will be challenged even more when they face one of the best offenses in the country in Ohio State.
Ohio State Buckeyes
Ohio State has played some very good football this year. Yes, they do have that loss to the Oregon Ducks, but that was a while back and they have seemed to respond since that loss.
The Buckeyes failed to cover as 15 point favorites against the Nebraska Cornhuskers last week, but they did win the game 26-17. It was by no means a pretty win, but they did enough to walk away with a victory and that is the most important thing.
CJ Stroud was 36/54 for 405 yards with 2 touchdown passes and 2 picks against the Huskers. He was not as sharp as he has been in past weeks, but he still made a number of plays which helped his team get the win.
TreVeyon Henderson was the leading rusher a week ago with 21 carries for 92 yards. And what a day it was for receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba who finished the day with 15 receptions for 240 yards.
The defense has been playing better for these guys as of late. Granted, Nebraska is not a great offense, but I thought they looked very good in that game. It will be harder for them on Saturday when they have to face Purdue.

Free Week 11 NCAA Football Pick
In past years, this game may not be viewed as all that great, but I think more people will tune in based on the way Purdue has played.
My play is on Purdue +21 here.
4* Free Week 11 NCAA Betting Pick:
We have learned this year that Purdue cannot be taken lightly. They may not be on the level of some of the top teams in the country, but they can give a lot of teams a helluva run.
21 is just too high for me to lay it here with the Buckeyes. I think they will win, but I am not sold on them covering the large number. I feel this game can be more competitive than some people may think.
The Boilermakers have shown this year that they are not afraid of anyone. I feel they can score some points on this Ohio State defense, but the Buckeyes will be too much for them to handle in the end. Based on that, I do not see this game being a blowout.
Give me the Boilermakers as 3 TD Dogs here.
