College football odds, picks and prediction for Penn State Nittany Lions vs Ohio State Buckeyes. Week 8 betting free pick and game analysis.
While Marvin Harrison Jr will get his, the rest of the offense in this Ohio State-Penn State matchup might be slow to start in a massive game. See why our college football picks see some tense moments ahead.The game of the week in college football takes place at the Horseshoe in Columbus when the undefeated Penn State Nittany Lions visit the undefeated Ohio State Buckeyes.
The Nittany Lions’ defense has been dominant. They have a fearsome pass rush and may have one of the only secondaries in the country with a legitimate shot of at least somewhat slowing down Marvin Harrison Jr. Penn State leads the nation in opponent yards per play and second in sack rate and beating them will be a difficult task for
But moving the ball might not be much easier for Penn State’s young quarterback. Even though Drew Allar clearly has a ton of talent and is playing behind one of the best offensive lines in the country, you can tell the sophomore signal-caller is still trying to figure things out.in the country in scrimmage plays of 20+ yards this season and it probably won’t improve much against this Buckeyes defense. Ohio State ranks second in opponent yards per play this season.
That’s why I’m betting the first-half Under at FanDuel, which is giving us a 50% boost on one bet for this Penn State-Ohio State matchup.As always, our same-game parlay starts off with our best bet. And a low-scoring game I think plays into Penn State being able to keep this game close. Or at least close enough that covering the spread will be on the table for most of the game. But 4.5 and 5.5 on the road don’t inspire me, so I’ll push it through the key number of six and add Penn State +6.
