You have two teams ranked in the top 5 in the nation facing off in Iowa. Both teams also have top-rated defenses so look for a lower-scoring game. Iowa put up 51 against Iowa bur that is an outlier. They don't have an explosive offense but rely on their defense to turn the ball over and set up short fields for the offense. Penn State has more weapons on offense and their defenses are pretty equal. Iowa is a tough place to play but Penn State keeps this close if not winning it outright. I can see an overtime game so take the points.

Play on Penn State.
