00:00the game.
00:01The noon kickoff game on Saturday.
00:05That's SMU and it's Penn State.
00:07Three of these four games, Mark, we brought up earlier in the show, played at sub-freezing
00:10temperatures here.
00:12No stranger here to Penn State.
00:13This game's going to be played in the 20s.
00:15No precipitation, which is great.
00:16Slight winds around 10 miles per hour.
00:18But we are looking at some of the numbers.
00:19The Vandal Sportsbook here in New Jersey opened this game up between SMU and Penn State at
00:2453 and a half.
00:25Still basically in that range.
00:26The number on the game, minus 7 and a half, now at 8 and a half, even some outlets, Mark,
00:31up to minus 9.
00:32What are you going to see from this Saturday noon kickoff between SMU and Penn State?
00:36Points.
00:37A lot of points.
00:40Best bet of the week, guys.
00:41Over 53 and a half.
00:42Locked in as soon as the line came out.
00:43Look, this is a Penn State offense that just put up 37 points on an Oregon defense that
00:47was top 20 in the country in the Big 12 championship game.
00:51And you're looking at an Italy Lions offense that's gotten better and better as the season
00:54has gone along.
00:55Penn State didn't break 30 in three of their first Big 10 home games, one of which was
01:02against Ohio State.
01:03But they've scored at least 35 for their last five-conference game.
01:06The one game they didn't, that was on the road.
01:08They're home in this one.
01:09For SMU, you've got to go back to late October for the last time that they didn't score 30
01:13points in the game.
01:14In fact, they've only failed to score 33 times this entire season.
01:19So SMU isn't scared of anybody at this point, nor is Rhett Lashley.
01:23I'd be shocked if Penn State doesn't get to at least 30, 34 in this game.
01:27And I think SMU does enough to get to 20 in the rest of the year.
01:29I think we see a lot of points.
01:30I think it's a fast-paced game, despite the conditions and everything else.
01:34I mean, look, it's going to be good football weather.
01:35You're not going to see a ton of wind.
01:36There's going to be no snow or anything like that.
01:38You're just going to get a cold day, which should help both these offenses continue to
01:42do what they do.
01:43And that's put up points on the regular.
