Penn State will enter the game as 31-point favorites according to Circa Sports despite its lackluster showing in Columbus. ESPN has PSU as 30.5-point favorites. The gist is that Penn State’s favored big time this weekend.
Penn State has covered and then some outside of its loss to Ohio State and sportsbooks are expecting that to continue.
Coordinator Manny Diaz’s defense did more than its fair share and will continue doing so, but it will need a lot of help from the offense which failed to do much against the Ohio State. Clearly, Indiana isn’t Ohio State, but there can’t be much confidence flowing offensively after a showing like that.
