The Penn St. Nittany Lions are 12-5 to start the season, and while this team is no threat to win the Big-10 Championship, they are always a pesky competitive team that pulls some surprises each season. They will head to Michigan St. who has been impressive thus far and bring a 14-2 record and #12 ranking into this contest. Penn St. is averaging 84 PPG and certainly is capable of getting hot as they shoot 49% for the season. Michigan St.'s weakness has been shooting the 3. The Spartans average just 29% for the season from beyond the arc. Penn St. has a turnover edge in this game as they are turning their opponent over 16 times a game. Penn St. is a tough team to get margin on, and I like them here. Make the play on Penn St.
