College basketball picks for Purdue vs. Ohio State
Before tuning into the Ohio State vs. Purdue game, you need to see the college basketball picks from SportsLine’s advanced computer model. The SportsLine Projection Model simulates every Division I college basketball game 10,000 times. The model enters Week 15 of the season 66-38 on all-top rated college basketball picks this season, returning almost $1,700 for $100 players. Anybody who has followed it has seen huge returns.
For Ohio State vs. Purdue, the model projects that the Buckeyes cover the spread as 11.5-point underdogs. Purdue comes into this game in its worst form of the season, having lost two straight and three of its last four games. The Boilermakers have been dominant on the boards throughout the campaign, but they were out-rebounded 35-23 by an undersized Maryland team on Thursday en route to a 14-point loss as 1-point underdogs.
They have been dealing with turnover issues of late as well, giving the ball away 16 times in each of their losses to Indiana and Northwestern. Ohio State already gave Purdue a run for its money once this season, losing to the Boilermakers by just two points last month. The Buckeyes are led by Brice Sensabaugh, who poured in 21 points in that game and averages a team-high 16.3 points per game.
The Buckeyes have a balanced lineup that features five players scoring at least 9.1 points per game, which should allow them to hang tough with a Purdue team that relies heavily on Zach Edey. Senior guard Sean McNeil scored 20 points on 7-of-7 shooting against Iowa on Thursday, knocking down all four of his 3-point attempts. SportsLine’s model expects Ohio State to push Purdue again on Sunday, as the Buckeyes are covering the spread well over 60% of the time. Stream the game here.
