We’re in for what should be a terrific Big Ten matchup this week when the Penn State Nittany Lions head to Columbus for a date with the Ohio State Buckeyes. There are Big Ten and College Football Playoff implications on the line, as the winner will have the inside track on both fronts. This is a spot where the underdog is certainly barking in a rivalry game, and that& #8217;s where I’m looking in this contest.
Here is my Penn State vs Ohio State Same Game Parlay for Saturday’s matchup, which will be televised starting at 12:00 pm ET on FOX. Also, be sure to check out our full Ohio State vs Penn State predictions.
One of the benefits of Same Game Parlays, of course, is that you can use non-correlating plays to boost the odds. That is some of the plan here, as a Penn State win doesn’t necessarily correlate with Cade Stover going over his yards. Therefore, we’re getting a bit of extra value. Let’s get into it.'
Penn State Nittany Lions ML over Ohio State Buckeyes (+164)
I’ve already written about this game extensively this week, but as I’ve said before, the Nittany Lions have historically kept things close in this matchup, with Penn State having covered in 6 of the last 7 meetings against Ohio State. James Franklin has a quarterback in Drew Allar that can be trusted, as Allar has 15 total touchdowns and zero interceptions over the first 6 games of the campaign, so his decision making and game managing skills are rock solid.
