Penn State Vs. Oregon

As the number one ranked team in the country, it makes sense that college football prop betting sites are in favor of Oregon. However, bettors can get them at a discount on the spread as they’ve been extremely dominant all season long.
No Issues For Oregon
It’s a similar story for Penn State every season. They start off strong, finish the season with a top offense and defense, and end up having nothing to show for it at the end of the year. Their single Big 10 Championship in the last 15 years is a strong indication of that.
With that said, college football sportsbooks got this spread all wrong and are offering a discounted spread on Oregon to win their first ever Big 10 title. Oregon is finishing the season with a +19 point differential and have beaten 11 of their 12 opponents this season by 3+ points.
The Ducks also thrive in close spread situations and have done so for several years. Since 2017, Oregon has been favored between 1-4 points a total of seven times and have gone 6-1 against the spread.
Penn State, on the other hand, lost the only game that they were an underdog in this season as a 3-point underdog to Ohio State. They’ve also struggled in close spread situations going 1-5 both straight up and against the spread in games where they are underdogs between 1-4 points since 2020.
