We are…playoff contenders? Maybe. Happy Valley hosted Auburn and a White Out crowd in primetime on Saturday and the Penn State Nittany Lions did not disappoint. They beat Auburn 28-20 to advance to 3-0 on the season. They also covered the 5.5-point spread.
The win moved Penn State from No. 10 to No. 6 in the AP Top 25 Poll. The Nittany Lions National title improved from +6000 during the preseason to +3000.
The Nittany Lions host the Villanova Wildcats on Sept. 25 at 12:00 ET. Early in the week, it was hard to find the matchup listed on sports betting apps. Villanova is an FCS opponent so the game might not be up at most sportsbooks until the end of the week. On Thursday morning, it was on Unibet PA sportsbook and DraftKings with Penn State gvas a 30.5-point favorite and the total points line at 54.5.
