Penn State opens as double-digit favorite against Indiana in Week 5

Penn State returns to Big Ten play in week 5 with a home game against the Indiana Hoosiers. The Nittany Lions are looking for revenge from last season’s opening loss in Bloomington, and the oddsmakers are all in on Penn state getting the job done this weekend.

According to the odds at the beginning of the week from Tipico, Penn State is favored by -10.5 points against the visiting Hoosiers. The line seems to make some sense as Penn state is trending upward while the Hoosiers are coming into the week with two losses already against quality teams like Iowa and Cincinnati.

Penn State lost last year’s matchup with the Hoosiers in overtime. The season-opening loss set Penn State on a dreadful path to a 0-5 start to the season, while it rocketed Indiana to one of its best seasons ever. This season, the results have shifted with Penn State off to a 4-0 start while Indiana has floating right at .500 and searching for some offensive consistency.
