New Ryan Field finally makes its debut on Friday night as the home of the Northwestern Wildcats, and the most expensive college stadium ever built certainly looks like it was worth the wait. The $870 million state-of-the-art stadium has a capacity for 35,000. For their first game in their sparkling new home, the Wildcats (2-1) host Penn State (3-1). Both teams are coming off their first loss, but the Nittany Lions are 2.5-point spread betting favorites.
College football best bets include Liberty at Delaware, where the Sports Line Projection Model says Delaware has an 82% chance to cover at +6.5. In Pitt at Virginia Tech, the model says Virginia Tech has a 54% chance to cover at -2.5. The marquee attraction is Penn State at Northwestern at 8 p.m. ET on FOX, with the model picking Penn State -139.
