Although shrouded in controversy, there will be football played today at Beaver Stadium when Penn State hosts Nebraska at 12:00PM ET.

Following the shocking allegations against former defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky, long-time Nittany Lions head coach Joe Paterno was fired earlier this week. And since then, the line in this game has gone from 2.5 to 3.5 as the Lions find themselves as an underdog in their own stadium.

Nebraska has won 10 of the last 11 games when playing as a road favorite and has also won eight of the last nine games coming off an upset loss when playing as a double-digit favorite. The Huskers have won five consecutive road games when the total posted is between 42.5 and 45 points and are averaging over 34 points a game on offense this season.
