Penn State Underdogs in Big 2026 Games

Penn State football is facing an uphill battle in 2026, starting with a one-and-a-half-point underdog spot in the highly anticipated White Out against USC — a stark contrast to their recent favoritism in those games. The tough slate continues with a six-and-a-half-point underdog tilt at Michigan, where they’ve lost three straight since 2009. Despite a massive roster overhaul under new coach Matt Campbell — including 40 transfers and QB Rocco Becht — Penn State still boasts over 30 players with at least four years of college experience. They open as a 23.5-point favorite against Marshall and are projected for over eight-and-a-half wins, making them a compelling, if underestimated, team to watch.
