Penn State Football 2022 Season Prop Bets

Penn State football is less than a week away, folks.

While you could head to your favorite sportsbook to put a wager on how many touchdowns Sean Clifford will throw or how many games the Nittany Lions will win, we wanted to have a little bit more fun.

To keep things interesting this year, we’ve devised some very real and not fake at all prop bets to keep an eye on throughout the season.

For those not familiar with prop bets, Onward State co-founder Evan Kalikow put it best: “A prop bet is short for proposition bet. Basically, it’s a bet on something not commonly betted upon. For example, lots of people bet on the score of the Super Bowl, but how many people bet on how many times the winning coach will say ‘humbled’ in the post-game press conference? That’s a prop bet.”

It’s important to note, however, Onward State is NOT a gambling site, and none of these bets are real whatsoever. We don’t encourage or promote gambling, but we do encourage having fun. Lots of it, actually.
