2017 Free College Football Picks – #2 Penn State @ #6 Ohio State Odds & Free Pick 10/28/17
The 2nd ranked Penn State Nittany Lions come into this week with an overall record of 7-0 and 5-1-1 against the spread. The Nittany Lions are coming off a dominant 42-13 win over the Michigan Wolverines as a -7.5 point home favorite last Saturday to improve to 4-0 in the Big Ten East Division.
Penn State head coach James Franklin may be cocky and rub people the wrong way outside of Pennsylvania but the guy has flat out built a powerhouse at University Park and has the Penn State program back as of on the nation’s powerhouses. Franklin got things turned around in a big time way last season winning the Big Ten Championship and finishing 11-3 overall including 8-1 in the Big Ten. Franklin has picked up where he left off this season and has the best and most talented Nittany Lions team since he took over in 2014.
The Nittany Lions come into this huge game with the nation’s 16th ranked scoring offense at 40 points per game and the top-ranked scoring defense at just 9.6 points per game. Penn State is dominant on both sides of the ball and have the nation’s best player in our eyes in junior running back Saquon Barkley. Barkley has rushed for 757 yards on 117 carries and 8 touchdowns this season. He has also caught 32 balls for 448 yards and 3 touchdowns. The man is an unbelievable talent and is the frontrunner to win the 2017 Heisman Trophy.
The 6th ranked Ohio State Buckeyes come into this Big Ten East Division showdown with a 6-1 overall record and 4-3 against the spread. The Buckeyes are also 4-0 in the Big Ten East Division and are coming in off a 56-14 beat down of Nebraska on the road in Lincoln two weeks ago as a -24 point favorite.
Ohio State head coach Urban Meyer is one of the best in the business and he has done a great job getting the Buckeyes back on track since losing 31-16 at home to the Oklahoma Sooners on September 9th. The Buckeyes have gone 5-0 since including 3-0 in their last 3 games while outscoring Rutgers, Maryland and Nebraska by a score of 164 to 28.
The Buckeyes, much like Penn State, are one of the most well balanced teams in the nation. The Buckeyes come in ranked 2nd in the nation in scoring offense at an impressive 47.3 points per game and 10th in scoring defense at 15.4 points per game. Senior quarterback J.T. Barrett is leading the way as he is playing the best football of his Buckeyes career. Barrett has thrown for 1838 yards and completed 66.7 percent of his passes while tossing 21 touchdowns and only 1 interception.
Who are we betting on to cover the spread in the #2 Penn State @ #6 Ohio State game? Well, Penn State won last season’s meeting 24-21 at Beaver Stadium and we look for another close battle this Saturday. These two teams are fantastic on both sides of the ball and this game will be a flat out war for 60 minutes. The odds makers have Ohio State a -6.5 point home favorite but we don’t have them that big of a favorite and we feel Penn State is the better overall team especially if this game was played on a neutral field. Give us the points as Penn State will have a great chance at winning this game outright and the 6 points are a gift as they should get us the money even if they lose. Bet on Penn State to cover as a +6.5 point underdog at Bovada Sportsbook.
