Our Nevada Wolf Pack vs Penn State Nittany Lions Prediction
Penn State has high hopes this season and, as a result, is the #2-ranked team in the country. The Nittany Lions are significant favorites in this matchup and rightly so, as the Wolfpack have been a bad team for years. Nevada has had three straight losing seasons, where they failed to win more than three games.
That being said, the Wolfpack were fairly competitive last season, losing by an average margin of 11.4 points per game. Albeit, Nevada did not play teams like Penn State on a weekly basis, which is better than them in every way.
Further, while the Nittany Lions had an excellent record, they had plenty of close calls last season, winning their games by an average margin of 21.8 points per game. Just once did Penn State win by more than 45 points, so while they are expected to compete for a National Championship, they may not start this game as fast as expected. For that reason, our Nevada Wolfpack vs Penn State Nittany Lions prediction is: Nevada Wolfpack +44.5.Jackpot Pools
