Penn State will Win the game, they will cover the point Spread, and the Total will go Over. Penn State is going to dominate the game at the line of scrimmage. This will set a tone for the season as a whole.
Nick Singleton and Kaytron Allen are going to rush for more than 100 yards apiece. Drew Allar will be getting plenty of time to assess and throw the ball downfield. It is not going to matter how well the Mountaineers are expected to run the ball in 2023, at least not in this game.
