Bowl season winds down on Monday with a top-10 showdown between Penn State and Utah in the Rose Bowl. Not only are these two teams close in the APRankings, but bookmakers are having a tough time separating them as the Utes sit as a modest 2.5-point favorite over the Nittany Lions.
But rather than try to split hairs to find an angle on the spread for this matchup, bettors may be better suited looking towards the Over/Under for value. New customers only. Must be 21+.

Utah is the more methodical of the two offenses and likes to impose its will in the run game to wear defensive units out. The Utes rank fifth in the country in rushing success rate and 11th in expected points added per rush play, so you can expect a heavy dose of ground-and-pound from Utah in Pasadena.
But this isn’t a one-dimensional unit, either. Utah is also a very effective passing offense that finished 10th in passing success rate. The Utes may not be explosiveness, but they’re able to move the ball down field in a pragmatic, effective manner to set themselves up for scores.
