The current betting odds have PSU listed as a 14 point underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. PSU has been playing very well all season and are ranked number 16 in the country but they have taken their only 2 losses of the year in their last 3 games now. They have had to play some very tough opponents though as their 2 losses have come against Michigan and Ohio State. PSU just lost their last game at home against OSU too so they are going to be looking to bounce back here. Indiana has been very bad all year and they are one of the worst teams in the Big Ten this season. They do play better at home like they are in this game but Penn State is going to be very angry from their loss last week and looking to take it out on Indiana here. PSU has a good offense that will be putting up points all game on the Indiana defense but Penn State's real strength is their defense and they are going to be able to stunt this Indiana offense all game too. Indiana will not be able to put up a lot of points here and PSU will just keep pulling away all game. The best way to place a bet here is on PSU to cover the spread in this game.

"The game starts and ends with the turnovers. They're explosive on the offensive side of the ball, they're explosive on the defensive side of the ball. We played our tails off, just made too many mistakes." - James Franklin after his team’s loss against OSU in their last game.
