Online sportsbooks are in favor of Arkansas after they finished off their season on a high note. The Razorbacks went 8-4 on the season and 4-1 in their last five games. Penn State was one game back at 7-5, however, they lost five of their last seven games to end the season.
Even though the CFB odds are set fairly close in this one, Penn State is struggling as they are now down six starters for the game including five on defense. They will be without Derrick Tangelo, Arnold Ebiketie, Jaquan Brisker, Ellis Brooks, and Brandon Smith on defense.
This is a huge blow for one of the best defenses in the country that is in the top-10 in points allowed per game (16.8).
