College Football Betting Preview  SBG Global Opening Line: Penn State – 14.5 , Total 48  Penn State hosts Michigan State on Saturday with a trip to the Rose Bowl on the line. The Nittany Lions are 6-1 in the Big 10 and with a win will clinch the Big 10 title and a trip to Pasadena. Penn State, Michigan State and Ohio State all have 6-1 records in the conference but the Nittany Lions have already beaten the Buckeyes so a win against the Spartans would put them in the Rose Bowl. For Michigan State to win the title they would have to upset Penn State and then have Michigan upset Ohio State. Their chances of upsetting the Nittany Lions are probably better than having a terrible Michigan team upset the Buckeyes. SBG Global reports that early College Football betting has the public taking Penn State at Home.  The Spartans could claim a share of the Big 10 title with a win even if they don’t get a Rose Bowl berth. “It would be something special,” Michigan State quarterback Brian Hoyer said, “To get a Big Ten championship, knowing where we’ve been, what we’ve gone through, and where we came from would be huge, especially for the senior class.” The Spartans are led by running back Javon Ringer who is second in the country in rushing with 1,548 yards and he leads the nation in touchdowns with 20. He will get a test from a Penn State defense that is 10th in the nation against the run. Penn State will try and get their offense back on track. They have scored just 23.3 points per game in their last three games.  Here are the College Football betting stats for Saturday’s game. The Spartans have lost 10 straight games against teams that are ranked in the Top 25. The Spartans are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 road games. The Spartans are 7-2 ATS vs. a team with a winning record. The Spartans are 6-13 ATS in their last 19 games in November. The Spartans are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 meetings in Penn State.  The Nittany Lions are 3-7-1 ATS in their last 11 conference games. The Nittany Lions are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games in November. The home team is 8-3 ATS in the last 11 meetings between the two teams.  The Over is 11-4 in the Spartans last 15 conference games. The Under is 8-3 in the Spartans last 11 games in November.

College Football Betting Preview SBG Global Opening Line: Penn State - 1 , Total 45.5  First place in the Big-10 is on the line Saturday night as #10 Ohio State hosts #3 Penn State. This game could have national title implications as the Nittany Lions don’t have anyone on their remaining schedule that stacks up to Ohio State. The problem for Penn State is that they haven’t won at Columbus in 30 years. SBG Global reports that early College Football betting has the public taking Penn State on the Road.  The Nittany Lions have the talent this season to compete with Ohio State as quarterback Daryll Clark is the Big Ten’s second-highest rated passer. Penn State has the seventh best scoring offense in the country, averaging 45.4 points per game and the Nittany Lions also has Evan Royster who leads the Big 10 in yards per carry.  On the other side, Ohio State has started to look like a national title contender since Terrelle Pryor took over at quarterback. “When Terrelle is clicking, he can do a little bit of everything,” said receiver Brian Robiskie, “He’s scary in the open field.” It also helps Ohio State that Chris “Beanie” Wells is fully healthy. He has run for 508 yards in four games since his return from injury.  Penn State has lost 10 straight games on the road to teams ranked in the Top 25. On the other side, Ohio State has won 12 of its last 13 conference home games against ranked opponents. Here are more College Football betting stats for Saturday’s game. The Nittany Lions are 6-1-1 ATS in their last 8 games overall.

College Football Betting Preview SBG Global Opening Line: Penn State  - 5 , Total 47  The Wisconsin Badgers will try and avoid starting 0-3 in the Big 10 as they host 6th ranked Penn State on Saturday night. To get the win the Badgers will have to slow down the Big Ten’s best offense. The Nittany Lions are averaging almost 500 yards per game, 9th best in the nation. They are scoring 44.8 points per game which ranks 7th in the country. Quarterback Daryll Clark has thrown 9 touchdowns with only one interception this season while running back Evan Royster has eight touchdowns this season. “They’re a great team and they have a great quarterback, a great corps of receivers that can run,” Wisconsin cornerback Allen Langford said. “They have a great tight end and two good running backs … so they’re definitely going to be a difficult task.”  The Badgers have not had much luck this season, losing 27-25 at Michigan and then last week 20-17 to Ohio State. “The expectations are high on this team, and we’d like them to be high,” Wisconsin coach Bret Bielema said. “And we’re five points away from being a 5-0 football team. We’ve got a tremendous challenge on our hands and an opportunity to right the ship.”  Here are the College Football betting stats for Saturday’s game. The Nittany Lions are 4-1-1 ATS in their last 6 games on turf.
