College Football Week 5 Anytime Touchdown Scorer Picks: Penn State vs. Northwestern
Penn State vs. Northwestern
Do I expect this game to be close? No not really, especially after what we saw from Penn State against Iowa last week. That said, Northwestern has one of the worst run defenses in the country. Currently, they allow 184.5 rushing yards per game and they've given up 9 rushing touchdowns so far this year.
For Penn State, they average 210 rushing yards per game and they've already scored 10 rushing touchdowns this season. Through four games, they look like one of the best teams, if not, the best team in the Big Ten. I think they'll continue their winning ways behind their rushing attack of Kaytron Allen and Nicholas Singleton.
This season, Kaytron Allen is averaging 4.4 yards per carry and has a team-high 66 carries for 280 yards. Despite only having two rushing touchdowns, I think he'll find the end zone against Northwestern. While his odds to score are a bit juiced, I'll take it.
Bet: Penn State RB Kaytron Allen Over 0.5 Rushing Touchdowns (-160)
