College Football Betting: Indiana at No. 7 Penn State

But handicappers know better. The Lions have been getting shortchanged all year, whether it’s Big Ten fatigue caused by too many Ohio State losses or ageism directed at 81-year-old head coach Joe Paterno.

But has Penn State’s bubble burst with that one loss? The Lions cannot afford any more miscues if they want to go to the Rose Bowl, not even against the Indiana Hoosiers (3-7 SU, 1-7-1 ATS). Penn State will be a massive favorite Saturday; PSU is 10-0 SU and 6-3-1 ATS versus Indiana dating back to 1994, although the Hoosiers (+7) kept things close in last year’s 36-31 loss at home. The Hoosiers have only played two road games this season, dropping both SU and ATS.
