PSU News and commentary
Penn State opens up the 2017 season vs the Akron Zips, Saturday at Noon at Beaver Stadium: Penn State should be in for a cake walk tomorrow vs Akron. Look for the starters to be pulled early in this one and see some back ups and 2nd stringers get some reps. Akron should be no challenge for Saquon and Trace, even if the offense falls into its 2016 ways of not starting the game until the 2nd half. Both should have great games and neither should be playing in the 4th quarter. This is technically like a pre-season game. A factor to pay attention to will be the weather: the forecast calls for some cold and rain all day Saturday in Happy Valley which could make for some short punts, sloppy plays and some dropped passes / fumbles. As of right now Bovada LV Sportsbook has Penn State as a 31 point favorite and the Total being 0/U 65. In perfect weather conditions I would take Penn State to cover all day, but I think the weather may bring the spread closer to 31 where I wouldn't be 100% confident, but I'd lean more towards the PSU cover than against it. I would most likely bet the under on 65. No way is Akron putting up more than 17 (and I think thats a stretch) and PSU will pull the starters early. Making this probably less than a 50 point blowout. Still look for the Nittany Lions to win this one easily. PSU: 45 Akron: 13 PSU -31 Under 65
