What is the Penn State-Minnesota point spread?
Penn State football has its final road trip of the regular season this week. The No. 4 Nittany Lions are at Minnesota this Saturday. Kickoff is set for 3:30 p.m. ET. CBS will televise the game. It marks the program’s second straight week of being on that network. It was also on that station last Saturday when it beat Purdue 49-10 in West Lafayette.
“I thought that was the best game we played overall, in terms of four quarters, offense, defense, special teams, complimentary football,” Lions coach James Franklin said after the win. “We were able to play 68 players in the game, which is great and is really going to help us from an experience standpoint. Defensively, continue to play dominant third quarter football. Ten plays for 35 yards, but that also has to do with our offense sustaining drives. Tyler Warren continues to just make plays in a ton of different ways. Like I mentioned before, I think he’s part of the conversation of one of the best players in all of college football, let alone the tight end position.
“Drew’s is playing really efficient, 17 of 19 for 247 yards to the touchdowns. Just really good all-around football. If I was going to nitpick a little bit a little bit, more turnovers. That was the one thing we tied 0-0. We had a couple opportunities. We won the explosive play battle. Won the third down battle. We won the sack battle, we won the starting field position battle, won the penalty battle, and then we won the middle eight with 14 points to zero. So a lot of good things there.”
What is the Penn State-Minnesota spread?
Penn State is now an 11.5-point favorite at FanDuel and DraftKings. Back on Friday, the line was listed at PSU -10 at the former, and this morning, it was at 15.5 and then 13.5. It’s considerable movement, as obviously, it jumped the number over and then closer to going over the two-touchdown mark and then it revertedback toward the lookahead line as the betting market got moving. The Golden Gophers are 6-4 and coming out of their final bye week of the year.

“We did not play Gopher football and winning Gopher football like we have over the last however many weeks,” Minnesota coach PJ Fleck said after his team’s 26-19 loss at Rutgers two weeks ago. “But it’s college football. It’s not an excuse, nor is it acceptable. But I told them in there. I said we were 0-1 today, simply that, simply that, 0-1. We did not earn the victory today.
“We’ve got to heal up in a lot of areas. Guys are playing really hard, I mean, we play so hard, it’s so fun to watch our kids really play hard. And then we’ve got to put a really good gameplan together for a top five team coming into Huntington Bank Stadium. So we’ve got a lot of things we need to focus on this week.”
