This is a 10* BIG TEN GOM on Penn State.

Purdue is 7-1 and it's won three straight, but I think it'll have its hands full on the road here. I also think it'll get caught looking ahead to its home game vs. Maryland after this.

Penn State is 7-1 as well after an 87-64 win here over Buffalo. The Nittany Lions only loss came against Clemson, but Penn matches up really well vs. the Boilermakers.

I think home court advantage can't be overlooked as a very real deciding factor. With a spread like this, clearly the oddsmakers feel these teams are evenly matched.

I'm bypassing the spread option though and instead playing PENN STATE on the very reasonable moneyline option.

Good luck, NP
