SportsbookWire.com’s Alex White looks to continue her hot streak Saturday. She likes a side in the “new” Big Ten matchup featuring the Penn State Nittany Lions (5-0, 2-0 Big Ten) at the USC Trojans (3-2, 1-2). Kickoff is scheduled for 3:30 p.m. ET with the game on CBS.

Penn State — No. 5 in the US LBM Coaches Poll — is favored by 3.5 points, per BetMGM Sportsbook as of Friday, 5:51 p.m. ET — the Nittany Lions opened as 6-point favorites.

USC fell out of the rankings — conducted by the American Football Coaches Association and USA TODAY Sports — after last weekend’s 24-17 loss at the Minnesota Golden Gophers.

Listen below to why this is Alex’s best bet.
