Penn State is a team we’ve had valued slightly ahead of Notre Dame throughout the season and we’re really looking forward to seeing how this matchup plays out. Penn State is playing their best football.
We also feel some are underrating Penn State’s extra time off, having 2 additional days to prep for this contest compared to the Irish. This has the potential to be a lower scoring affair given the strength of both defenses paired with offenses that like to wear out their opponents through higher tier ground games attacks. With that being said we like the ability of Penn State to throw a bit more of a curve ball through their air game compared to Notre Dame. We expect a competitive result, but we like Penn State getting the points as the better bet.
