Penn State Nittany Lions at Pittsburgh Panthers Free Pick
I think all you need to know here is that Penn State was outrushed by Kent State a team that was forced to go with a freshman QB in the second half. They’ll now face a Pittsburgh team that allowed a total of 172 offensive yards last week to Villanova. Sure it’s a big step up to the Nittany Lions and the Panthers won by only 21 points last week, but you’d have to think that they kept some of their offense under wraps for this week’s match. We’ll side with the home team here laying less than a TD.
Take the Pittsburgh Panthers -5.5
