The Penn State vs. West Virginia over/under is several points off the number we are projecting for college football Saturday.
With the help of our proprietary betting data, PRO Projections uncover the best college football picks. In this preview, we’ll focus on the season opener between Penn State and West Virginia, showcasing the advantage of our data-driven approach.
Penn State is a serious Big Ten program this year. We project James Franklin’s club as double-digit favorites in 10 games. Penn State’s potential ceiling hinge significantly on their offensive performance under new coordinator Andy Kotelnicki, who is expected to inject some juice into the offense coming over from Kansas.
To identify the best bets, we compare our projections against market odds and rate them based on strength, using a straightforward classification system: A, B, C, and so on. This helps bettors to make informed decisions, especially when relying solely on PRO Projections.
And there’s one pick in particular with a clear, green light to bet Saturday for Nittany Lions vs. Mountaineers.
