Penn State Nittany Lions at Northwestern Wildcats Week 6 Prediction
This contest has all the makings of a trap game. The venue is an early kick-off where a top-five ranked team comes in off yet another drubbing of a perceived inferior opponent. Situationally, this contest will likely be an anchor for many to start off parlays with over the span of Saturday. State will undoubtedly be a popular choice to start the day off right for many. However, takers beware. The Nittany Lions may have a resume that looks flawless but this is a football team that has not really faced any competition this year outside of an undefeated Iowa team in Kinnick Stadium. Penn State should have lost the game be that it had to come down to the last play and heroics to declare a victor. Entering the affair, Penn State was a two-possession favorite.
While the talk of the town may be Saquon Barkley and his Heisman candidacy, the Wildcats’ have a weapon of their own and his name is Justin Jackson. Jackson is also one of the better backs in America. Jackson knows how to beat this Penn State team as he was there for both Northwestern triumphs dating back to 2015, presenting an optimal fade opportunity.
Free Pick:
Take Northwestern +15
