- Purdue are 4-1 to the over of this number in their last 5 road games.

- Ohio state is 4-1 to the over of this number in their last 5 home games.

- Only Pennsylvania and Wisconsin have struggled to score 70+ on Ohio state in the last 10 games. Purdue average 85 points per game.

- Only Rutgers (an elite defensive unit) has held Purdue under 70 points in the last 10 games. Ohio state are allowing 69 points per game.

- Purdue played 3 days ago, and Ohio state has had 5 days to prepare for this matchup. Both teams are going to score over 70 points here.

- The over is 4-0-1 in the last 5 meetings between these two teams, 6-3-1 in the last 10 meetings.

- You don't defensively beat a team like Purdue. You have to keep up with their scoring ability in order to win. A fast pace should be the gameplan for Ohio State who are the undersized team
