It’s almost time for Penn State football, folks.

The Nittany Lions return to action for the 2024 season at noon on Saturday against West Virginia. While many sportsbooks allow you to bet on the team’s win total, national championship odds, and more, Onward State’s mock sportsbook decided to give you some more options.

As Onward State co-founder Evan Kalikow said, “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.”

We must note that Onward State is not a gambling site and none of these bets are real, but they could spice up your Penn State football betting and make the upcoming season a little more fun.
