[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Penn State Nittany Lions pay a visit Saturday to their long-ago rival the West Virginia Mountaineers to start the 2024 season. Kickoff from Milan Puskar Stadium is set for noon ET (FOX). 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.

The Nittany Lions are looking to build off of last year’s successful season that ended with a 35-21 win over the Utah Utes in the Rose Bowl, but a lot looks different for Penn State this year. Last year’s starting QB Sean Clifford has moved on the the NFL, leaving the former 5-star recruit QB Drew Allar as the starter.

Allar saw limited playing time in his freshman campaign, completing 35 of 60 passes for 344 yards, 4 TDs and 0 INTs. Penn State fans are excited to see what the star-studded sophomore backfield of Allar and RB Nick Singleton can produce this year.

WVA coach Neal Brown has not said whether Garrett Greene or Nicco Marchiol will start at QB vs. Penn State, but it appears Greene will get the nod. The junior completed 43 of 78 passes for 493 yards, 5 TDs, and 3 INTs  last year. Marchiol is a redshirt freshman who was 4 for 13 for 61 yards and 1 INT last year.
