Why Bet on the Penn State Nittany Lions
Saquon Barkley is back for the Nittany Lions, and should be one of the top running backs in the nation. Barkley emerged with a monstrous freshman season in Happy Valley. Remaining with the offensive side, the Nittany Lions will have to replace Christian Hackenberg at quarterback. The Nittany Lions are looking at Trace McSorely, with Jake Zembiec behind him. Defensively, the Nittany Lions will miss Carl Nassib, but Garrett Sickles, Shareef Miller are both names that will emerge as top dogs for the Nittany Lions. Look for the James Franklin era to continue to make an upswing for the Nittany Lions.
Why Bet on the Iowa Hawkeyes
The Iowa Hawkeyes went 12-2 last season, and were the winners of the Big Ten – West. The Hawkeyes were one defensive play away from going to the College Football Final Four. C.J. Beathard comes back with a nice offense, and a defense centered around cornerback Desmond King. The Hawkeyes have a favorable schedule again this season, which should bode well for them. Wide receiver Matt VandeBerg is back for the Hawkeyes after catching 65 passes and picking up more than 700 yards. The Hawkeyes also return tight end George Kittle, in an offensive that loves to use their tight end.
