Below, we look at Penn State vs. West Virginia odds from BetMGM Sportsbook before making our expert college football picks and predictions later in the week.

Penn State, the No. 9 team in the US LBM Coaches Poll, looks to improve from a 10-3 season that ended with a 38-25 loss to the Ole Miss Rebels in the Chick-Fil-A Peach Bowl. The Nittany Lions lost a lot of talent with 8 players drafted by NFL teams, including 2 in the 1st round.

Junior QB Drew Allar had a solid, but slightly underwhelming, 1st season  as the starter, completing 233-of-389 passes (59.9%) for 2,631 yards and 25 TDs with only 2 INTs. Penn State fans are excited to see if Allar can take the jump his 5-star recruitment status had predicted he would.

West Virginia was 9-4 last year and picked up a 30-10 win over the North Carolina Tar Heels in the Duke’s Mayo Bowl. Senior QB Garrett Greene won the starting job last year and completed 147-of-278 passes (52.9%) for 2,406 yards and 16 TDs with 4 INTs.
