Penn State made quick work of Iowa last season in Happy Valley but a night game at Kinnick Stadium will be a little more challenging for the Nittany Lions this year. Even Vegas knows that.
Sunday, Vegas tabbed Penn State as a 12-point favorite against the Hawkeyes in the B1G opener for both teams.

While Penn State might have the edge talent-wise in this contest, the Hawkeyes tend to play extremely well under the lights in Iowa City. Last season, Iowa stunned Michigan by knocking through a game-winning field goal and handing the Wolverines their first loss of the season.
Saturday’s game is scheduled to kick at 7:30 p.m. and will air on ABC.
