Ohio State vs. Penn State Betting Preview: Are Nittany Lions Worth Play as Home Dog?

Ohio State at Penn State (+3.5)

Sat. 9/29, 7:30 p.m. ET

Three things you need to know before betting on Ohio State-Penn State:

1. James Franklin hasn't been a home underdog often since becoming the head coach of the Nittany Lions in 2014. His Penn State teams are 2-3 straight up when getting points at Beaver Stadium (3-2 against the spread). But the Nittany Lions are 2-0 in their last two games as home dogs. The most recent instance was in October 2016 against, guess who, Ohio State, when the Nittany Lions entered as 17.
