We like the Penn State Nittany Lions to defeat the Washington Huskies on Saturday at 8:00pm ET for a number of reasons. Here are some of the more important ones:

Last week was an outlier game for the Nittany Lions. Although they lost, they gave the Buckeyes a real fight. Penn State will get back to their winning ways on Saturday in their signature "white-out game."

Penn State have won their L5 "white-out games." Over the last two, they've outscored their opponents 52-7. Both games were against ranked teams.

Washington beat USC last week but are still just 5-4 this season. That includes an 0-3 record away from home.

The Nittany Lions are 13-6 versus the spread in their L19 games played as the favorite.

Penn State also won the only ever time these teams met, both SU and ATS.

This is a good spot for PSU to bounce back. They'll take advantage of the ground game on Saturday night.
