It’s a much “happier” Happy Valley for Penn State football this season. They are 2-0 and back at a full capacity Beaver Stadium. A hot start (and an Ohio State loss) has improved Penn State’s chances of making the College Football Playoffs. Their odds to make the playoffs before the start of the season were +1300. They are currently +700 at DraftKings.
The No. 10 Nittany Lions host the No. 22 Auburn Tigers in Week 3. Happy Valley will again host ESPN’s College GameDay which will be highlighting the 7:30 p.m. prime time matchup. It’s the fifth straight year GameDay visited State College and Penn State is only school to host GameDay every year since 2017.
Most Pennsylvania sports betting apps have Penn State as 5.5-point favorites. At BetMGM, the total points is 52.5 and Penn State is -225 on the moneyline.
