Northwestern +2.5 vs Penn State. The Wildcats don't lose at home.

The God of Odds likes Northwestern +2.5 at -104, and BetOnline.ag is the place to hammer it. The Wildcats are home dogs against a Penn State team that just took its first loss, and the number is begging you to take the bait on the name brand. Don't.

Northwestern is 2-0 at home this season and 2-1 overall, averaging 32.7 points per game while allowing just 18.0. That's a team that scores and defends, and it's doing it in front of its own crowd. Penn State comes in at 3-1 with a 36.8 scoring average and a stingy 11.5 points allowed, but that loss in their last game is the tell. The Nittany Lions are traveling, and the Wildcats have already proven they handle business at home.

The Wildcats are also 1-0 against the spread this season, a perfect mark that shows they're outperforming expectations. Penn State's last four games read W-W-W-L, and that L is the most recent entry. When a team with a name-brand reputation stumbles and then hits the road against a home dog that's putting up 32.7 a night, the value sits with the dog.

The line hasn't moved off 3 at most books, which means the market is content to let you buy the hook. BetOnline.ag is offering Northwestern at +2.5 for -104, the best price on the board.
