Penn State has a highly-touted QB in Drew Allar, but the 19-year-old sophomore will have his first big test against an Ohio State defense that has taken a leap under second-year DC Jim Knowles. I like both team’s defenses more than their offenses. As the week has gone on, my favorite bet from that bunch is full game under. I have already bet Penn State +4.5, the full game under and first half under in this game. Nate Jacobson: Under 45.5 in Penn State vs. Washington State comes in sliding a bit having lost their last two, and now they have to go on the road to play a mad Ducks team. They have one of the best offenses in the country and some veteran players on both lines of the ball. I think we’re going to see the Oregon of earlier in the year, which is a team that scores a lot and gives up a little. If they want to have a shot, they need to start beating up on teams again.
The conversation all week has now been “can a one-loss Oregon still compete for a College Football Playoff spot?” Oregon is coming off a tough loss in their biggest game of the year. Ben Wittenstein: Oregon -19.5 over Washington State.
