College Football Week 6 Betting System Picks
*Odds and betting data as of Saturday morning
Road 'dogs in conference play tend to be undervalued due to increased familiarity among opponents. Plus, if the game is heavily bet — like this one — the public is likely on the favorite, inflating the line.
The system's pick Saturday is Penn State +2.5.
Teams fitting this criteria are a blistering 269-198-9 (58%). The model last week identified Michigan (+2), Texas A&M (+7) and Boston College (+14.5), who all covered; the Wolverines and Aggies won outright.
Our College Football PRO Projections bill the Nittany Lions as just 0.2-point underdogs for the MAC tilt — more than two points off the market number.
Penn State head coach James Franklin's been exceptional in the underdog role, cashing eight of the last 11 overall and four of the last five away from home.
Iowa, meanwhile, is just 1-4 against the spread in its the last five games after scoring 40 or more points in its previous game.
Pick: Penn State +2.5
