Though not as big a line as we’ve been getting used to seeing, Michigan football will head into its final road game of the regular season as a five-point favorite against Penn State.
The Wolverines (8-2, 5-1) narrowly beat the Nittany Lions (7-3, 4-2) last season, 18-13, at the Big House.
It looked for a while like this game would have some serious meaning in the race to win the Big Ten East, but Penn State’s loss to Northwestern gave it two league losses, and things aren’t looking so hopeful anymore.
Despite that, this is a Nittany Lions team that’s still looked over.
