Final USC 31, Penn State 23 · Graded Oct 11, 2026

Why Joel Klatt picked them: Klatt says USC should run the ball on a Penn State defense that can't tackle, and Penn State's offense has struggled since losing WR Koby Howard.

The displayed number is a dated event-level Kalshi snapshot, not live odds and not necessarily the market when the original prediction was spoken or first captured.

Ari Wasserman, Kirk Herbstreit, Desmond Howard, and Nick Saban also picked USC. Andy Staples, Josh Pate, and Pat McAfee picked Penn State. The full split is on the game page.
