Penn State is set to take on Illinois in a Week 5 college football matchup on September 28th. Penn State comes into the game with a 3-0 record and a 2-1 against the spread, while Illinois boasts a 4-0 record and a 3-1 against the spread. Illinois has shown surprising strength, particularly on the road, where they defeated Nebraska as 9.5-point underdogs.

Penn State's defense is top-notch, ranking in the top 10 in total defense and yards per play. However, Illinois' offense has shown some promise, led by quarterback Luke Almire, who has thrown 10 touchdowns and no interceptions this season. Illinois may be able to score 14-17 points in this game, but Penn State's offense is a force to be reckoned with.

Led by quarterback Drew Aller, Penn State's offense is top-10 in total offense, rushing, and passing. They have been efficient, with Aller throwing for 309 yards and three touchdowns in their last game. The line for this matchup is around 17.5 points, with Penn State favored. However, the over/under is more appealing, with a total of 48 points. The over is a strong bet, as Penn State is likely to score in the mid-30s, and Illinois may be able to contribute to the scoring as well. James Franklin, Penn State's coach, is known for keeping his foot on the gas until the end, which could lead to a high-scoring game.
