Oregon State vs Purdue Prediction

I’m looking at the under in this one. It’s kind of hard to gauge what we’re going to get from Purdue here, as their two Games have been a blowout of FCS Indiana State and then getting blown out by Notre Dame. What we do know though is that Oregon State has taken a bit of a more run-heavy approach this season and for me, it looks like the Beavers are going to try to win a lot of Games with defense, ground Game and ball possession. I think this is another one of those Games so give me the under here.
