Game: SMU vs Penn State
Time: 12:00 PM ET
CFB Playoff Saturday and we have our first matchup soon! It’s SMU vs Penn State at Beaver Stadium!
We cashed yesterday with Notre Dame vs Indiana Under, but in this game I’m aiming for a side that will shock some of you.
SMU has been a wagon this season, their offense has been a menace by air or by the ground and today I believe they will be up to the task. It’s true that Penn State is a menace on the defensive side of the ball, but I do believe that Kevin Jennings will throw the ball often and will find some tough spots to keep their offense rolling, I DO NOT SEE THEM BEING SHUT DOWN. Also they have been very disciplined defensively and should make some important stops
On the other side, like I said, Penn St is known by their defense, but had been particularly good on the offensive side of the ball. And at home should take advantage of the loud and heavy beaver stadium.
Look, I know this is not a popular bet and everyone’s talking about the SMU schedule, Penn hasn’t had any tough opponent besides Oregon and Ohio St. 8 points are a lot for a Playoff game and I expect them to cover it.
And yes, I’m sprinkling to the ML
My prediction: SMU +9 -110
