The Penn State Nittany Lions have been one of the early darlings of spread bettors in the 2023 college football season.
James Franklin's side is 3-0 against the spread in 2023. It will put that perfect mark on the line in what is expected to be a defensive struggle against the Iowa Hawkeyes on Saturday.
The perceived gap between the Big Ten elites and the rest of the conference is shown in the 14.5-point spread.
Penn State is expected to compete with the Michigan Wolverines and Ohio State Buckeyes for a College Football Playoff spot, while Iowa is in the running to be the best of the rest.
