FIU vs Penn State Pick

The Penn State Nittany Lions opened the regular season with a 46-11 victory over Nevada, but failed to cover the spread as a 42.5-point favorite. The Nittany Lions will also have a very large spread to cover as a double-digit favorite when hosting FIU on Saturday. FIU has covered the number in five of its last six, dating back to last season, and that will be the case on Saturday. Penn State wins, but will come up short against the nut. Final Score Prediction: Penn State Nittany Lions win but fall short ATS 51-17.
