Ole Miss Rebels vs Penn State Nittany Lions prediction

The Penn State Nittany Lions are the more balanced team in the fact they play better defense, and they’re 9-3 ATS on the season. However, we’re getting a good deal of points with an offensive powerhouse in Ole Miss and a creative offense that Penn State doesn’t see in the Big Ten. There’s sure to be some adjusting on the side of the Nittany Lions, and I believe this game is closer to a coin flip. Give me Ole Miss and the free points.
