The Penn State Nittany Lions are coming off a 79-56 rout of No. 9 Ohio State on Thursday, but I think they're in for a much tougher game here at Purdue Sunday night.

The Boilermakers have suffered narrow losses in their last three games (Ohio State, Michigan State and Wisconsin), but the last two were on the road and we can note that they've won five straight encounters with Penn State (10 in a row at home dating to 2006).

The Nittany Lions are 1-4 ATS in their last five games following a straight up win of more than 20 points, 4-12-1 ATS in their last 17 road games vs. a team with a winning home record and I fully expect Purdue to show up in front of the home fans tonight.

My selection is an 8* play on Purdue Boilermakers.
