The Nittany Lions are toast when it comes to CFP hopes. They have two losses in the Big Ten and one was to winless UCLA. What on earth has happened in the past two weeks? And now, people are being asked to lay 21½ points with Penn State against Northwestern.
The Wildcats actually beat UCLA. Wouldn’t use that as a barometer for this game. However, they did lose to Oregon by 20. There is a school of thought Penn State will wallop the Wildcats in regaining form. Hard to believe after it couldn’t stop UCLA.
Pick: Northwestern +21½ points
