Staff Prediction

This has the potential to be a decent game. Quinnipiac comes into this one having a solid season so far, and they have won 2 of their past 3 games. Penn State is also having a decent season and have won their last 2 games. Nittany Lions guard Jalen Pickett has averaged 18 points per game in those 2 wins. Penn State will win this game, but I can see Quinnipiac making it closer than most people think. Take the Bobcats to cover the 15.

Staff Pick QUIN ATS (+15)
