SMU is coming off a tough 34-31 loss to Clemson in the ACC championship game. The Mustangs’ 10 consecutive road victories are the second-longest streak nationally, and they have scored at least 31 points in each of their last five matchups.

Penn State also suffered a heartbreaking loss in its Big Ten championship game. The Nittany Lions are 51-10 inside Beaver Stadium since 2016, and the place will be rocking for this battle.

SMU vs. Penn State same game parlay: Kevin Jennings 2+ passing touchdowns

The Penn State Nittany Lions surrendered the fourth-most touchdown receptions in the Big Ten (27), and SMU Mustangs quarterback Kevin Jennings can exploit Penn State.

Jennings is responsible for one of the top passing offenses in the country. He’s thrown 22 scoring strikes this season. Seven Mustangs boast at least 300 receiving yards, and Jennings has fired at least two touchdown passes in each of his past five.

SMU will score against Penn State. The easiest way for them to accomplish this is through the air. The Nittany Lions have surrendered 15 scoring strikes this season. The Mustangs’ receivers fly, and Jennings should sling at least two scoring strikes.

SMU vs. Penn State same game parlay: Kevin Jennings over 219.5 passing yards

If the game script is correct, Jennings could be facing a large deficit.

SMU plays fast and loose football. Jennings has thrown for more than 220 passing yards in nine consecutive games.

The SMU wideouts run great routes, are fearless and they can run for days. Six Mustangs have at least one reception of 30+ yards, and they could be in line for a big day.

Penn State allowed 90 passing plays of over 10 yards, and nearly half of those plays were 20 yards or more. I like Jennings’ chances of winning this leg.

SMU vs. Penn State same game parlay: Drew Allar 2+ passing touchdowns

Penn State quarterback Drew Allar has been maligned for much of his career, but he could have a huge day with his arm against SMU.

Allar has slung 50 career scoring strikes, including 21 this season. He chucked three in the Big Ten championship game against Oregon and faces an SMU defense that allowed 24 touchdown passes in the ACC.

The Mustangs’ rushing defense topped the ACC and ranked fourth nationally. It’s allowed 10 rushing TDs, and if the Nittany Lions are to score, it’s likely through the air.
