Florida International at Penn State Preview & Picks

Penn State are tipped to cover a massive spread as they improve to 2-0.

The Nittany Lions do a great job at producing stops and forcing turnovers, and that should hand even more scoring opportunities to an offense that was extremely efficient a week ago.

  • Penn State scored on 9 straight drives last week
  • Penn State are 3-1-0 ATS in their last 4 home games
  • Florida International are 3-7-0 ATS in their last 10 vs ranked teams

Head To Head

  • Penn State lead the all-time series 1-0
  • Penn State won 59-0 when the two teams last met in September 2007

Florida International Form

Florida International head to Pennsylvania having enjoyed a blowout victory in their season-opener.

The Panthers opened the 2025 campaign at home and were able to dominate Bethune-Cookman in a 42-9 win.

It was a far cry from last season when they were comfortably beaten in their season opener and went on to lose seven of their next 10 games.

Florida International did at least end the year on a positive note though, as they downed Middle Tennessee State 35-24 to finish with a 4-8 record.

Penn State Form

Penn State enter this matchup looking to follow up last weekend’s victory with another commanding win.

The Nittany Lions, a leading contender to win the national championship this season, kicked off the season with a 46-11 when they played host to Nevada a week ago.

It was a solid start for a team who lost a conference championship game and fell agonisingly short in their quest to win the national championship a year ago.

Penn State went 11-1 in the regular season, only to then suffer a 45-37 defeat at the hands of Oregon in the Big Ten Championship.

The Nittany Lions responded in the playoffs by beating SMU 38-10 and Boise State 31-14, but their national championship dream was ended by a 27-24 loss to Notre Dame in the Orange Bowl.

Verdict

Penn State are a national championship contender that looks strong on both sides of the football.

Quite simply, they are expected to be too powerful for a Florida International team that rarely cover the spread when facing ranked opposition.
