Appalachian State at Penn State 9/1/18 - NCAA Football Picks & Predictions
The Mountaineers are going to be looking to make magic happen again on the opening weekend against another Big 10 team. The problem is the fans and even the coaches know that they should not overlook the Mountaineers like the Wolverines did several years ago. So this could really help the Mountaineers in facing one of the stronger teams they will face early in the season.
Trace McSorley is returning for his senior year at quarterback and looks to build on his success of 3570 yards and 28 touchdowns of last year. However, the Nittany Lions do have to replace Saquon Barkley who left for the draft this season. Barkley carried the ball for a total of 1271 yards and 18 touchdowns.
Betting Trends for vs
The Nittany Lions are returning a ton of talent this year and yes the loss of Barkley will hurt, but his understudies will step in and fill his shoes. The Mountaineers are completely lacking at the quarterback position and that will definitely hurt the team in this game here. The Nittany Lions dominate on both sides of the ball because of the lack of experienced quarterback and blow this one wide open. Final Score Prediction, Penn State wins and covers ATS 41-7.
