Odds: More Movement on Penn State-West Virginia Spread

Drew Allar takes a snap against West Virginia.

In the wonderful land of odds, Penn State-West Virginia spread has experienced more movement.

Less than a week ago, DraftKings had the lineย at Penn State -8.5, which was already down from the double-digit spread the line opened at.

Now, the line is again moving in favor of West Virginia.

Penn State is still a sizable road favorite but the line now stands at 7.5, which is a full point lower. This is also significantly lower than last yearโ€™s Penn State-West Virginia odds, which had Penn State favored by three scores. Penn State ended up covering that spread on a last-second TD that is still in the minds of WVUโ€™s players.

As part of Fox Sports promoting ย opening the 2024 season as Foxโ€™s Big Noon Kickoff game, Joel Klatt joined โ€œThe Herd with Colin Cowherdโ€ to preview the gameWednesday.

After Cowherd started talking about Penn Stateโ€™s situation in the expanded Big Ten, Klatt jumped in with some cautionary words about looking past the Mountaineers.

โ€œThat is a tough game, cause West Virginia got on a hot streak late last year. They got some good players and that environment is going to be incredible. Canโ€™t wait for Country Roads,โ€ said Klatt.

media says, Penn State head coach James Franklin knows the situationhis team will be facing when it opens the season at WVU.

โ€œItโ€™s a hornetโ€™s nest,โ€ said Franklin when asked about starting the season on the road against West Virginia at Big Ten Media Days on Wednesday.

โ€œThey take a lot of pride in their football team. Theyโ€™ve got no pro team, so itโ€™s all about West Virginia, all about Morgantown. So it will be a great environment to play in.โ€
