Vegas relases opening line for Indiana-Penn State clash
Published:
Penn State enters Week 5 with an undefeated record and the Nittany Lions are double-digit favorites over Indiana this weekend.
The Hoosiers will be 11.5-point underdogs at Happy Valley, according to the line at DraftKings. The total has been set at 52 points.
Of course, this is a rematch of last season’s controversial Week 1 finish in Bloomington. Indiana won that game 36-35 by the nose of the football on Michael Penix Jr.’s dive to the end zone.

Indiana went on to have one of its best seasons in school history. Penn State went on to have its first 0-5 start in school history before winning four straight games to end the year.
That victory was just the second time Indiana had ever defeated Penn State on the gridiron. The Nittany Lions are 22-2 vs. the Hoosiers, with all 24 matchups coming since 1993.
Indiana is off to a slow start in 2021. The Hoosiers are 2-2 and had to squeeze out a win over Western Kentucky on Saturday.
