Penn State Opens As -18 Favorites Vs Illinois

[lazydave841]

Wow. That line is huge.

 

[paddoce]

Agreed. Borderline disrespectful.

 

[lazydave841]

Sagarin would have us as -14.

I would have guessed around 12

 

[bdgan]

If I was a betting man I'd take the points.

Altmyer looks like the real deal. 71.4% completions, 862 yds, 10 TD, 0 INT. That's better than Allar and Altmyer had to play against Nebraska, not Kent State.

I think PSU wins at home but it sure would be nice if we had Winston.

I don't think the Kent State game did us any good. I remember beating Cincinatti 81-0 in 1991 then coming our flat and losing to USC the following week.

True but I don’t think that they’ll come out flat next week with it being a white out and on national TV at night

I "bet" the line drops throughout the week. I know Franklin doesn't take them lightly.

I'm thinking something like PSU 31, Illinois 24.

White Out? The only thing I heard about was old uniforms.

I don't think Illinois will be easily intimidated by the crowd after playing in front of a packed house at Nebraska.

White out vs. Washington

Well he looks better than he has in the past but we’ll see. I’m not a believer.

Franklin is calling for White Out……Energy

Yeah, my bad, you’re right brain fart at 6 AM

 

[bison13]

White out vs. Washington

Yep, my bad. Brain thought one thing and typed another.

 

[mean15]

I am thinking 10 points max.

 

[bdgan]

He's played well against two teams that were ranked at the time (#19 Kansas & #22 Nebraska). I'm not saying he's great but I think he's pretty good.

The same retro-ish uniforms they’ve used for a few years for Homecoming, right? Generations of Greatness. Numbers on helmets, stripe on the pants, gray facemasks, white shoes.

 

[LandoComando]

I was expecting 12 to 13...that's way too high. Doesn't mean we won't cover but that will come down

 

[Kasparaitis]

Wow. That line is huge.

That’s what she said.

 

[LMTLION]

I expect a 31–24 PSU win.

Bville rarely credits any other team or player. Altmyer has had a good start to the year and is a solid QB. I think we should win the game and are obviously the more talented team, for what that's worth. That doesn't mean Altmyer isn't good.

He played one extra game, and Nebraska is still Nebraska.

And Illinois is still Illinois.
