Both teams are coming into this contest a perfect 2-0 straight up and against the spread. The 22nd-ranked Auburn has not really been tested though, coming into its contests as a 37-point favorite against Akron and a 49.5-point favorite against Alabama State. I don't think the Tigers are way overrated after blowout out a couple of no-name teams, and I don't think they are quite prepared for what they're about to come up against in this one.

No. 10 Penn State opened the season with a 16-10 road win as a 5.5-point underdog at then-No. 12 Wisconsin and it defeated Ball State 44-13 last time out. The Lions really impressed in their win against the Badgers, particularly on the defensive side of the ball. I think they'll slow down Auburn's untested offense enough to win and cover.

Tigers are 2-7 ATS in their last 9 games as a road underdog. Tigers are 1-5 ATS vs. a team with a winning record. Nittany Lions are 8-1 ATS in their last 9 games in September. Nittany Lions are 9-2 ATS in their last 11 home games vs. a team with a winning road record. Nittany Lions are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games as a home favorite.
