Football Prop Bets for the Penn State @ Purdue Game Week 1
Unranked Penn State takes on unranked Purdue as a -3.5 road favorite. Action is balanced. Penn State (16) was coming in with an 82.12 rating while Purdue (51) has a rating of 73.84. This gives us a spread of Nittany Lions -6.5, indicating a 3 point underlay.
Penn State has annihilated Purdue in their last two meetings (2016 and 2019). The most recent game was a 35-7 win by the Lions at home, keeping in mind that the Boilermakers were a +28.5 dog.
The infusion of new talent on the line and the backfield should help the Nittany Lions.
Purdue's defensive front should put up a good fight.
The Nittany Lions quarterback Sean Clifford completed 14-of-32 passes for 195 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions in the RiliaQuest Bowl loss to Arkansas. The props have him with 251.5 passing yards Over/Under, and 17½ Rushing Yards Over/Under. This will be Clifford's sixth season at Penn State.
This is a Boilermakers team with depth but they'll be missing the likes of wide receiver David Bell and George Karlaftis, both of whom are now playing in the NFL. Purdue will also likely control the tempo.
Aidan O'Connell (Purdue) Total Passing Yards had a total of 313.5 for Purdue. They have him with 47½ Rushing Yards.
O'Connell was ranked the No. 2 signal-caller in the Big Ten conference by Crissy Froyd of NBC Sports EDGE.
"The former walk-on's pure abilities as a passer should help the offense overcome this transition though with O'Connell's nearly perfect ball placement and timing on his throws. O'Connell relies more on his arm and is very much a pass-first quarterback, but he has shown the ability to evade pressure and make plays with his legs when needed."
As a favorite since 2017, Penn State is 40-10 Straight Up (80%). As an away favorite, they are 12-5 SU over that span.
Penn State looks like the better team here and you can get them at a decent price on the moneyline for an outright win just in case this ends in a field goal.
We've seen the number drop to 3 but no lower.
