Picks for the Week

James Franklin has struggled mightily as head coach after bye weeks as coach of Penn State.

However, this time will be different.

Penn State knows they have a huge game looming next weekend. It will be a sluggish start, possibly, and then, like the Delaware game, a wave of offense will hit the team, and they’ll be able to come away victorious. I expect a massive game from Chop Robinson. He gets an interception, along with a couple of sacks.

Penn State covers the 41.5-point spread.

Prediction: Penn State 60 UMass 10

Big Ten Pick of the Week

Purdue (+19) vs. Ohio State noon/Peacock

Ohio State will have a similar time to the Penn State game.

However, Ohio State won’t have the luxury of going against a lesser opponent. I expect Purdue to fight hard and stay close enough to cover the spread in Saturday’s matchup.

Give me Purdue +19.
