Top 5 sportsbook promos for Penn State vs. Michigan
The talk around Michigan football (9-0) for the past few weeks has been about potential sign-stealing and cheating allegations, and not their undefeated record. Will that serve to motivate them or distract them? For Penn State (8-1), Saturday is their season. Any dream of potential chaos down the stretch in the Big 10 East requires the Nittany Lions to pull off the upset as a 4.5-point home underdog on Saturday.
