Our Penn State Nittany Lions vs Oregon Ducks Prediction

It is a little surprising that Penn State is the favorite in this game, as they have not been very impressive this season. Three wins against three inferior teams is what the Nittany Lions have on their resume, and they have not even covered the spread in one of these games. 

Meanwhile, Oregon has been much more impressive, beating several Power 4 teams in dominant fashion. The Ducks’ offense has also been far more efficient, which includes a game where they scored 69 points against Oklahoma State.

This is, of course, a night game in Happy Valley, so Oregon will have to deal with a hostile crowd. That being said, they simply look to be the better team; therefore, our Oregon Ducks vs Penn State Nittany Lions prediction is: Oregon Ducks +3.5.

Prediction:

 

Oregon Ducks +3.5
