Bowling Green vs Penn State Prediction, Preview, & Odds – 9/7/2024
The Bowling Green Falcons will take on the Penn State Nittany Lions in a highly anticipated matchup on September 7, 2024, at 12:00 pm ET. According to the betting odds from DraftKings Sportsbook, Penn State is favored to win by 34.5 points, while the total for the game is set at 48.5. Here, we preview Bowling Green vs Penn State and give our best bet for this contest.
Bowling Green Defense In For a Huge Test
In their season opener, the Bowling Green Falcons got a win at home over the Fordham Rams out of the FCS. In that 41-17 victory, Bowling Green got a monster rushing game out of running back Terion Stewart. After averaging over 10 yards per carry and scoring three touchdowns, Stewart will look to pace the Bowling Green offense, though that will be easier said than done against Penn State.
The biggest key to this game for Bowling Green won’t be the running game, though, but rather handling the atmosphere in Happy Valley. There is no way to really prepare for that except for simply blocking it out successfully on game day. The ability of the Falcons to do that, or lack thereof, will determine how Saturday afternoon goes for them.
Penn State Riding High After Week 1 Win
Penn State enjoyed a strong start to their season last week, beating up on West Virginia in Morgantown. In that 34-12 non-conference win, Penn State got a great showing from quarterback Drew Allar, who tossed three touchdown passes on just 17 pass attempts. This week, Allar should enjoy an even better game against a lesser opponent at home, as Penn State looks for a 2-0 start to their season.
Run defense will be a major priority for the Nittany Lions this week after how well Stewart performed on the ground for Bowling Green a week ago. But that shouldn’t be a big problem for Penn State after they limited West Virginia to just 85 rushing yards as a team in Week 1, which they will look to replicate against Bowling Green here at home.
Bowling Green vs Penn State Best Bet
It is difficult to see Bowling Green hanging with Penn State in this MAC vs Big Ten matchup in college football. We will lay the points with Penn State here, as they should win this Bowling Green vs Penn State matchup convincingly, moving the Nittany Lions one step closer to a perfect non-conference season.
