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.
