Overview

  • Sportsbooks have kept Penn State around a 3 to 3.5-point home favorite, with the line holding steady despite spread money showing interest in Oregon.
  • SportsLine’s model projects Oregon to cover in 54% of simulations, with the total sitting near 52.5 points for the 7:30 p.m. ET kickoff.
  • Oregon enters 4-0 after outscoring opponents 203-37, pairing an explosive offense with a stingy defense through four largely lopsided wins.
  • Penn State leans on its White Out environment and a physical ground game led by Nicholas Singleton as it seeks payback for last season’s Big Ten title defeat to the Ducks.
  • National picks are split, ranging from Joel Klatt edging Penn State by one to multiple voices backing Oregon either on the money line or against the spread.
