Betting Trends for vs
We think the spread is too big in this one. We do think the Nittany Lions will dominate this game from kickoff to finish. But we think Northwestern will do enough to catch a backdoor cover on the 25.5. But for our best bet we are going to take the under. We think the Penn State defense and slow paced offense will dictate a low score under the projected total. Final score prediction Penn State Nittany Lions wins doesn’t cover the spread and the total stays under 30-10.
