Let’s dig into the odds and see if we can find value betting on this game (and learn how to take your shot at winning $150 in bonus bets at FanDuel).

Michigan vs. Penn State Odds, Spread and Total

Michigan hasn’t had a spread lower than -17 until today’s line of -4.5 points at Penn State!

Right away, that’s a good enough reason to like these odds, but there’s more to like here.

The Nittany Lions have had a dominant defense this season (12.5 points per game, 3rd in nation), but their offense struggled in a 20-12 loss to Ohio State.

Michigan, on the other hand, hasn’t played much competition, but also hasn’t been exposed at all this season (unless you count the ongoing sign-stealing scandal). The Wolverines are 1st in the nation, allowing 6.7 points per game while ALSO scoring 40.7 points per game (5th in nation).

Sign-stealing or not, this Michigan team is flat-out dominant, and Penn State’s offense is far from it.

Enjoy this rare occasion with Michigan favored by less than a touchdown and take the points.

If you’re looking for another play on this game, consider also taking under 45 points. Two top-five defenses in the nation meeting for a pivotal Big Ten matchup almost always spells UNDER.
