Ohio vs Purdue Odds
Purdue was a 19-point favorite over Ohio when the guys taped on November 12.
Our Picks
- Ryan Kramer (@KramerCentric): Purdue -19
- Sean Green (@SeanTGreen): Ohio +19
- Colby Dant (@TheColbyD): Ohio +19
Colby went against the big number. He noted Purdue has been all over the place, beating Illinois State by 17 after a buzzer-beater loss to Valparaiso, with its other loss to Gonzaga. That win took a while to get there. To him, Purdue’s scoring options are in question, and 19 is simply too many points for a team that has struggled.
Sean was on board. He pointed to Purdue ranking 295th in the nation in adjusted tempo and called Ohio a decent shooting team out of the MAC. His question was simple enough: how does a team that slow win by 20-plus? Colby added that he had watched that South Alabama game and called Ohio’s guard a big-time player. His call was Purdue by 14, which is a Boilermakers win and an Ohio cover.
Ryan took the other side and said so plainly. He expects Ohio to be outmatched on the inside, and he noted that the best thing Purdue does on defense is guard the three-point line. Ohio needs the three-point shot, so he laid the 19. His own summary: one of them had to bring an analytical handicap to the game.
