Adding Ohio State -19.5 .25 units. May add more later in the week and may take an alt line like -23.5 for ++ odds. Or maybe Over.
Ohio State off a bye under Ryan Day;
2022, Oct 22, OSU 54, Iowa 10. -29.5
2021, Oct 23, OSU 54, Indy 7. -21
2019, Nov 9, OSU 73, Maryland 14 -42.5
2019, Oct 18, OSU 52, NW 3. -26.5
(Did not include 2020 COVID cancellations.)
And I think Maryland is more flawed this year so let's go with a Horseshoe blowout.
On previous Purdue play of +3.5; Boilermakers for the first time last Sat had coach Walters calling defensive plays while DC Kane communicated from the booth. Same way he did it at Illinois last yr as their DC and when they were at SMU. This should continue this week at Iowa. Wasn't eye popping but there was improvement. Couple that with Purdue's Tyrone Tracy Jr moving from WR to RB this year. Saturday at ILL was the first time he received more than 10 carries. Believe he had like 21 for 112 yards. Recorded the game and was impressed with Tracy Jr.
I had Purdue as a last place team pre-season but now I like the progress. Will it be enough vs Iowa? Thinking it has a good chance.
Oh, and Tracy Jr, had transfered from Iowa after 2021 season. So a type of homecoming for him.
