Picks for the Week
The line this week opened at -4.5 for Penn State Football and has already moved down to -3 in just a few days.
This seems to show some confidence from the public that Auburn is the play here.
Judging by the opening line, Vegas seems to think that the Nittany Lions would be around a touchdown favorite on a neutral field.
This game will all depend on how the first quarter goes for Penn State Football. If the Lions start fast, they should be able to quiet the crowd and put away Auburn early and not just win but cover the -3. At 49 the over looks good once again this week as both defenses have shown flaws through the first 2 weeks and this game should finish in the 50s.
Prediction: Penn State 35Â Auburn 24
Big Ten Pick of the Week:
Purdue +1 and ML vs Syracuse
The Boilermakers take to the road for the first time this season, and travel to Syracuse.
The Orange have started the season 2-0 with solid victories over Louisville, and UConn. Meanwhile, Purdue responded after their loss to Penn State Football with a 56-0 win over Indiana State.
This will be a statement game for the Boilermakers that shows that they are true contenders in the Big 10 west. The game opened as a pick ’em and has shifted in favor of Syracuse, but don’t be afraid to take Purdue moneyline.
