Stephen Nover Big Ten Total of the Year - 47-20-1 CFB Totals!
(NCAAF) Penn State vs. Michigan,
Total: 52.00 | -106.00 Under
Result: Loss
I was surprised to see this total open this high. Think defense rather than offense in this matchup.

Penn State allows less than 15 points a game. The Nittany Lions have the seventh best run defense in the country.

Michigan gives up 11.3 points a game. The Wolverines surrender the fifth-fewest yards per game and are No. 6 in run defense. Michigan's defensive line holds a major edge on Penn State's offensive line.

These are typical Big Ten teams who rely on the run. Neither of these teams plays fast either. The Wolverines are one of the slowest tempo teams in the nation.
