Point Train's CFB Best Bet - Saturday7-Unit-#409 Penn State (-3) over Indiana– 11:00 AM CST
After suffering a home defeat vs. UCF on Sep 14, PSU coach Obrien had his team ready for a huge game against Kent State. Penn State shut out Kent State and held them to 190 yards and nine first downs. PSU had a bye week after that win and Obrien spent the week working with his freshman QB Hackenberg who is playing beyond his years (1,027 yards on 62.2% completions). He’ll have Hackenberg prepped for his first road test of his career against a porous Indiana defense. Indiana was abysmal in its last game loss to Missouri. The Hoosiers’ defense allowed Mizzou to gain 623 total yards and 33 first downs. This unit simply isn’t showing any signs of improvement. Expect the Nittany Lions to use their three headed running attack of Zwinak, Lynch, and Belton to expose the Hoosiers 117thranked rush defense. That will allow Hackenberg and the PSU offense to control the clock and keep Indiana’s spread offense out of rhythm. PSU is a perfect 16-0 SU all-time against Indiana and are 4-2 ATS in the last six trips to Memorial Stadium. The Nittany Lions are 10-1 SU & 9-2 ATS in the last 11 Big Ten road games as a favorite.
