Here is my situation, coming into this week I had a bankroll of $5600 up from $1800 on November 5th. Since Monday my bankroll has been cut in half time and time again. It now stands at $1235.46 after losing a big game on the Lakers Thursday Night. I am going to bet everything in the account three times in a row in attempt to get back to $6000. The odds are against me but maybe I can pull this one off. Last night I hit the Pistons -9 and doubled my bankroll to 2265.50. Today I am going to be playing the Nittany Lions -16, bought down from -18.

I Think Penn State dominates this game from start to finish. They come into today's game with a 5-0 home record with an average win of 22.4 points. They sit middle of the pack offense and defensively. The Lions are scoring 72.1 points per game while they are allowing for an average of 66 against. The Lions are 8-1-1 in their last 10 games as a home favorite against the spread and have covered 9 of 10 as a favorite. Geary Claxton is leading the team in scoring with 19.4 points per game. Claxton also averaged 8.9 rebounds per game along with Jamelle Cornley who is scoring 11.9 points per game and grabbing 6 rebounds. Both can team up for a deadly duo and provide great hi/lo scoring for the Lions. Look for these two to be a factor against a weak Denver team that allows 63.5 points per game and gave up 80 to their only premier team in Oklahoma this season on the road. Denver is ranked nearly dead last (326th) in scoring. Denver is scoring only 57.3 points per game, on the road they only average 45.4 points per game. Denver is also almost dead last (299th) in defensive rebounding. The Nittany Lions are ranked 8th in the nation on the offensive glass. Look for this to be a huge factor, look for many second chance opportunities today for Penn State.
Watch the Lions spread out the ball and get everyone in on the scoring. Penn State will have this game to practice their defensive skills against a weak Denver offense. Lots of offensive rebounds and inside scoring will help pad the score even more. I think Penn State will win this game by at least 20. Lets go Lions!
