#20 Penn State at #5 Ohio State Final Betting Prediction

At first glance, it looks as if Ohio State should trounce Penn State. The Buckeyes have scored 52 or more points in their last 4 games: 59-7 against Akron, 52-13 versus Rutgers, 66-17 versus Maryland, and the 54-7 beating Ohio State handed Indiana in their last.

But although the Buckeyes look unbeatable, Penn State is the play. Even though the Nittany Lions played a 9 overtime game in their last, they should have enough in the tank to cover the spread.

The Lions’ defense allows 14.3 points per, ranking sixth in college football. Quarterback Sean Clifford has played well and Penn State rushes for over 118 per game.

Also, this is a rivalry contest. Penn State may not be good enough to upset the Ohio State Buckeyes on the moneyline. But the Nittany Lions should play well enough to win this against the spread.
