Purdue vs. Ohio State Prediction

I’m on Ohio State here. I know it’s a big number in a potential letdown spot playing lowly Purdue after a big win over Penn State but the Purdue Boilermakers are horrible and have pretty much quit it feels like. Ohio State needs to keep winning to hold on to their spot in the College Football Playoff, and I think the Buckeyes come out for some style points here. Give me Ohio State.
