The No. 9 Penn State Nittany Lions start their season by paying a visit to the West Virginia Mountaineers Saturday. Kickoff from Milan Puskar Stadium in Morgantown is set for noon ET (FOX). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s'lines around the Penn State vs. West Virginia odds, and make our expert college football picks and predictions.
The Nittany Lions look to build upon a solid season last year, finishing 10-2 in the regular season (7-2 in Big Ten play) before losing to the Ole Miss Rebels 38-25 in the Chick-Fil-A Peach Bowl. Penn State will have a lot of new faces this year as it lost 8 players to the 2024 NFL Draft.
West Virginia is hoping that a full season with QB'Garrett Greene'under center can lead to success after seeing flashes en route to an 8-4 regular season finish in 2023 that ended with a 30-10 win over the North Carolina Tar Heels in the Duke’s Mayo Bowl.
