Central Michigan vs Penn State Prediction & Pick

Penn State's impressive win over Auburn included a strong, balanced offensive attack with 245 yards rushing and 232 yards passing without allowing a sack. The Nittany Lions defense was so physical while forcing four turnovers. A letdown might usually be in order, but Penn State should still roll against a CMU defense that allowed 531 yards and 58 points to Oklahoma State, and 602 yards and 38 points to South Alabama.

Final Score Prediction: Penn State: 47 | Central Michigan: 24

Central Michigan vs Penn State Best Bet

All NCAAF betting lines, odds and prop bets are available on FanDuel Sportsbook.

Penn State true freshman running back Nick Singleton had 124 rushing yards and 2 TDs on just 10 carries vs Auburn. That followed 179 rushing yards and 2 TDs on 10 carries against MAC foe Ohio. Penn State won that game 46-10 as a 27.5 point favorite. Penn State can have their best game passing this early season if they decide to attack the Chippewas defensive weakness.

Central Michigan's offense is much better than Ohio with top-graded MAC quarterback and running back. However, the Chips defensive back seven will struggle to slow the Nittany Lions offense.

Bet: Over 62.5 Points (-105)
