I am personally going to buy half a point and bet this at -7, but I expect the Nittany Lions to win by 9 points or more. For lack of better words, James Franklin is a bit of a jerk regarding covering, and we like that about him. Since 2016, Penn State has covered 63% of its games as a favorite in 80 games. This is the 6th best cover percentage in the nation, but four of the teams ahead of them have been favored in less than 35 games each, and none of those teams have been favored in more than 65 games.
