Penn State minus 43 hosting Nevada
It has been at least 12 years since Nevada played a team this good and Penn State coach James Franklin is known to run up a score.
The Wolf Pack are totally outclassed in this game. The obvious big question is can Penn State cover a number this large?
I actually have Penn State power-rated higher than this point spread so my answer is yes.
The Nittany Lions have a dominant defense. Nevada couldn’t score against Minnesota last year losing, 27-0. The Gophers are just a middle-of-the road Big Ten team. Penn State is elite.
Penn State could have the best running back tandem in the country with Nicholas Singleton and Kaytron Allen. The Nittany Lions averaged more than 200 rushing yards and 5.3 yards per carry last season. Their quarterback, Drew Allar, has a big arm and more explosive wide receivers this season.
About the only way a huge underdog can stay within this kind of point spread is to force turnovers. That’s not likely to happen with the Wolf Pack. They forced just 13 turnovers in 13 games last season and had a minus-two ratio.
