The spread opened at Penn State -8 but has since inched up to -9 in some spots and could steam up to the key number of -10 by kickoff. PSU’s moneyline dropped at -298 and is up to a high of -350, while SMU has improved from +240 to +270. The game total opened at 52.5 but that has since spiked to a high of 54.

The SMU Mustangs came into the 2024 college football season with a chip on their shoulder and hopes to build off of a fantastic 2023 season.
