Who are experts picking in Penn State’s matchup vs. Villanova?

We are just two days away from Penn State matchup against Villanova at home. This should be a fairly easy matchup for the Nittany Lions. After their win against Auburn last weekend, they moved up to six on the polls.

What are the experts picking for this match up? Let’s dive deeper into this.

It would be a bit surprising to see some people pick Villanova in this match-up as an upset. But, anything can happen.

A group of writers from Athlon Sports got together and made their predictions, all of them picking Penn State to beat the Wildcats.

Another group of writers of College Football News predicted Penn State to blow out Villanova with a final score of 41-13.

As mentioned, anything can happen. We haven’t seen a drastic upset like this all season yet. There have been a few. But, if Villanova were to beat Penn State, this one would probably be one of the biggest upsets of the season.

This will probably be the easiest matchup for the Nittany Lions all year. They are coming off the toughest opponent in Auburn from last week. So this will be a nice game for them to fix any mistakes from the first three weeks.

One area to watch for Penn State will be the run game, which has struggled with consistency the first three weeks of the season. This should be a really nice game for them to really hone down on that.

Week four of the college football season is nearing, and Penn State should be able to win this one in fashion.
