We like the Penn State Nittany Lions @ USC Trojans game to finish UNDER the total on Saturday for a number of reasons. Here are some of the more important ones:

Penn State is very well known as a ground and pound team that loves to play strong defense. They've got two of the best RB's in the nation and should have the clock ticking whenever they've got the ball.

USC's defense still isn't necessarily great quite yet. But, they are much stronger than last season on that side of the ball. Lincoln Riley also owns a 43-4 record at home over his coaching career so I don't see him giving up all that many points here.

Penn State's last five conference games have all gone UNDER the total.

In their one road game so far this year, the Nittany Lions gave up just 12 points against WVU.

The Trojans have given up just 21 points in two road games this season.

Getting a good line is big here. But, expect a lower scoring game in a massive matchup for both teams in week 7.
