Penn State vs West Virginia AI Prediction:
Free CFB Betting Insights for 8/31/24

Penn State enters the 2024 season with high expectations and a belief that they can contend for the Big Ten title. Quarterback Drew Allar is expected to take on a larger role this season, with the coaching staff likely allowing him more freedom to utilize his arm strength. Despite the loss of several key offensive linemen, the Nittany Lions boast a potent offense that could exploit West Virginia’s defensive weaknesses. West Virginia, on the other hand, aims to start its season strong by upsetting a top-10 team at home.

The Mountaineers have one of the most experienced offensive lines in the Big 12, anchored by Wyatt Milum and Brandon Yates. Their running game, led by Jaheim White, is expected to be central to their strategy, with quarterback Garrett Greene needing to step up to ensure a balanced attack. The Mountaineers’ defense will need to excel, especially in the pass rush, to disrupt Penn State’s game plan.

Nittany Lions AI Preview

Penn State enters the 2024 season with aspirations of winning the Big Ten and contending for a playoff spot. The Nittany Lions will rely on quarterback Drew Allar to lead a dynamic offense that is expected to air the ball out more than last year. The defense, anchored by star linebacker Abdul Carter, is considered elite and is expected to stifle West Virginia’s ground game. The secondary, led by Kevin Winston, will look to force turnovers and capitalize on any mistakes made by Greene. This game is an opportunity for Penn State to make a statement and start their season with a strong performance.

Mountaineers AI Preview

West Virginia looks to continue its upward trajectory under coach Neal Brown after finishing the 2023 season with nine wins. The Mountaineers have one of the most experienced offensive lines in the Big 12, which will be critical in protecting Greene and opening lanes for the running game. The offense will focus heavily on Jaheim White, who rushed for 842 yards last season, and a balanced attack that could challenge Penn State’s defense. Defensively, West Virginia’s pass rush will be key; they must generate pressure and force mistakes to stand a chance against Penn State’s potent offense.
