Penn State vs. Iowa odds, spread, lines, Week 4 college football game betting picks

Fresh off a statement win on the road in the Big Ten opener a week ago, No. 7 ranked and undefeated Penn State returns to Happy Valley in a cross-division matchup against 24th ranked Iowa in a battle of top 25 teams in college football's Week 4 action on Saturday.

Penn State forced five turnovers against Illinois a week ago to stay perfect and play a balanced brand of offense, as Drew Allar is averaging 259 yards in the air per game, compared to a stout rushing attack good for 208 yards on the ground.

Iowa's offense is still a work in progress as quarterback Cade McNamara is a 54 percent passer through three games behind an offense good for 302 yards per game.

Here are the early lines and betting trends you should know about as the Hawkeyes take it on the road against the Nittany Lions this weekend.
