Summary
Over 45.5 points is the recommended play for Friday's Penn State-Northwestern matchup, with the analyst expecting both offenses to produce on a short week.
Penn State enters 3-1 after a 24-20 home loss to Wisconsin that knocked the Nittany Lions from No. 13 to unranked, but it still gets the offensive edge.
Northwestern is 2-1 and comes off a 29-23 road loss to Indiana after earlier wins over San Diego State 34-18 and Colorado 41-7.
The pick leans on a narrower-than-expected gap between the teams, with Northwestern's defense seen as capable of keeping pace but not fully containing Penn State.
