If you missed yesterday’s national picks as MC&J tries to rebound from a dreadful week, they can be found here.
B1G games (All games Saturday unless otherwise noted):
No. 10 Penn State (-28) v. Illinois - Friday 9/21 9:00 PM EST - FS1
The Nittany Lions have one last hurdle to clear before next week’s showdown with Ohio State. Luckily for Penn State this hurdle is only a couple inches of the ground, so they should have little trouble in navigating their Big Ten opener.
After barely avoiding Appalachian State’s upset attempt in the season opener, the Nittany Lions have won their last two games by a combined score of 114-16.
