Penn State vs WVU Odds: Moneyline
Even with the shift in odds over the past week, the moneyline odds for Penn State's season opener aren't all that enticing. If you're convinced the Lions win this game but aren't sure about covering the spread, you might want to find another wager to parlay the moneyline with to increase the odds. On the flip side, if you think WVU pulls off the upset, there's no reason to take +240 at Fanatics when you can get +280 at BetRivers. This is just one of the examples of why I suggest having multiple Pennsylvania sports betting apps at your disposal. It allows you to compare multiple sportsbooks to find the best possible odds.
