Despite suffering its second loss of the season on Saturday, Penn State has opened as a 19.5 point favorite over Rutgers. The East division foes will face off in the penultimate week of the regular season, and the final home game of the year for Penn State.
Penn State will be looking to send off its seniors on a bright note following a disappointing loss to Michigan at home on Saturday. The game had an eerily similar feel to the Nittany Lions loss to Ohio State on Oct. 21, when the defense fought to keep the game within striking distance, but the near complete lack of offense ultimately sealed their fate.
