There shouldn\u2019t be any surprises straight up; the question is whether or not Purdue can make any noise against the spread.<\/p>\n<h3>Ohio State<\/h3>\n<p>The Ohio State Buckeyes are one of a handful of undefeated teams left in 2013, but what you can\u2019t forget is that they were also undefeated in 2012. <\/p>\n<h3><a title=\"Football Picks\" href=\"https:\/\/www.capperspicks.com\/handicappers\/\"><strong>*CLICK HERE* GRAB OUR BEST Expert College FOOTBALL Picks for 2013 GAMBLING season!<\/strong><\/a><\/h3>\n<p>This team believes it is ready for a national championship, and the only thing standing in their way of being a top-two program is their strength of schedule.<\/p>\n<p>Playing Purdue certainly won\u2019t help that, but it will give them an opportunity to put another win in the box score and score a whole lot of points along the way.<\/p>\n<p>On the season, Ohio State is averaging 47.3 points per game\u2014the fifth-most in all of the FBS. [soliloquy id=&#8221;82219&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p>Their passing game has been subpar on occasion, as they\u2019re throwing for just 221.6 yards per contest (74th), but their running game is what is helping them dominate.<\/p>\n<p>They are posting nearly 300 yards per game on the ground, and they\u2019re ninth in that particular category at this juncture.<\/p>\n<p>Defensively, this team is no slouch, either. They\u2019re 15th in the country this season in points allowed per game (19.1), and they\u2019re going up against a Purdue offense that will have trouble scoring more than that in every outing this season.<\/p>\n<h3>Purdue<\/h3>\n<p>Purdue\u2019s offense is about as anemic as it comes in today\u2019s college football. They are 90th in passing yards per contest (202.4), 119th in rushing (76.1) and 122nd in points scored (13.1).<\/p>\n<p>To make matters worse, they\u2019ve been just as bad on defense, as they\u2019re giving up 34.4 points per game\u2014106th in the nation.<\/p>\n<p>The hope for Purdue is that Ohio State will play a sloppy game with a bye week right around the corner. That said, the Buckeyes haven\u2019t shown any mercy to weaker opponents this season, and they\u2019ve done a magnificent job of keeping their eye on the prize even when opposing players are seemingly disengaged.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately for Purdue, this game is about the eye test for the Buckeyes. Ohio State must prove game in and game out that it deserves to play for a national championship, and that means inferior opponents will feel their wrath moving forward.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t overthink this one too much. Expect the Buckeyes to come out on top, and come out on top big.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Prediction: Ohio State 50 \u2013 Purdue 13<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ohio State vs Memphis Tigers NCAA Football Odds The Ohio State Buckeyes are having a remarkable 2013 college football season.
