Quarterback Drew Allar is averaging 234.29 passing yards per game and is completing x% of his passes. So far this season, Allar has thrown 12 touchdowns and 4 interceptions.

Prediction

Ohio State is the short favorite in the game and looks to be the best betting option. The Buckeyes may have recently lost to Oregon and had a less-than-stellar win against Nebraska, but they have simply owned the Nittany Lions in recent seasons. Add in the fact that Penn State could be without their starting quarterback Drew Allar, who appears as if he will be a game-time decision. As good as Penn State has been this season, not having Allar will likely doom them. Therefore, because of the uncertainty at quarterback for Penn State and the Buckeyes’ having an explosive offense, backing Ohio State to cover will be our best bet.

Final Pick

Ohio State Buckeyes -4 (-110)
