The LSU Tigers are comfortably the more talented team and should be favored, but this is a neutral site game, and it often takes guys time to adjust to the rims and what not. The Penn State Nittany Lions are also a gritty team that slows things down and can really grind out a competitive contest. Give me PSU and the points.
