T.M. Selection: PENN STATE - ATS
1) I like the Nittany Lions to get the solid underdog cover in this game against the Fighting Irish on Thursday, January 9th. The line looks like a trap line to take the team with the better 11-3 ATS record laying only 1.5 points even though they just beat Georgia and are facing an 8-7 ATS team. As for the trap, I am not falling for it!
2) The Irish are now 13-1 this season but statistically I have concerns about what this offense will be able to do against a stout Penn State defense. Though Notre Dame beat Georgia, the stats were not good and they made the most of other opportunities to secure that win. They did not impress on offense and face just as tough of a test here.
3) Penn State has the better offense here in my opinion and is very balanced on offense. The Nittany Lions defense also has been very opportunistic. Notre Dame has been a cash cow this season so the markets are enamored with them and supporting them. The Fighting Irish, however, have met their match here and I look for Allar to lead the way at QB for the Lions to pull away in crunch-time of this game.
T.M. Prediction: 27-20 PENN STATE
Line: +1.5
