(NCAAF) Michigan vs. Penn State,
Point Spread: 3.50 | -105.00 Penn State (Home)
Result: Loss
The Penn State Nittany Lions have fared quite well in recent meetings with the Michigan Wolverines, posting a record of 4-1 straight up and against the spread in their last five meetings. Included in there are three-straight wins at home in Beaver Stadium, the most recent of which was a 43-40 win as 2-point home dogs in 2013. Penn St is coming off their much needed BYE and ready for a HUGE home game on Saturday. The brilliant early season Michigan defensive run is a thing of the past. Following their October 10th (38-0) shutout of Northwestern, Michigan have allowed more potent Big 10 offenses to score 110 points for an average of almost 28 PPG. Last week, that defensive decline culminated when Michigan allowed 527 yards to Indiana including the Hoosiers winning the overland battle 307-141. Michigan was fortunate to emerge with a victory in OT. Penn St. has had 2 weeks to prepare for this revenge game and I expect them to be very hungry and I look for a low scoring grind it out game with Penn St plus the points at home getting us the cash.
