Three years ago, Purdue stunned the world with a 49-20 upset win over then-number-2 ranked Ohio State. And that is going to be on the minds of numerous gamblers. So far this year, the Boilermakers have already knocked off a #2-ranked team. Purdue beat Iowa on the road 24-7 as 11-point betting on College Football dogs. However, this week’s game against Ohio State will be much more challenging. Cause by the Buckeyes having far more offensive firepower than the Hawkeyes. But Purdue could well stay within the number as a quality team with a good defense.
