Penn State hosts Northwestern in a Big Ten matchup in Week 5, and the Nittany Lions are once again being made a sizable favorite at home. Penn State is favored by more than three touchdowns against the Wildcats, which suggests Penn State has an excellent chance of entering its bye week with a clean 5-0 record before things get a tad more difficult later in October.
According to the latest odds from BetMGM, Penn State is favored by 25.5 points at the beginning of the week. Given the recent struggles of Northwestern, that could appear like a somewhat enticing line to consider in Week 5.
But let’s take a look at the odds at the beginning of the week going into this Big Ten cat fight.
