A map created by the fine folks at BetOnline based mostly on social media tweets shows most state sports fans support Penn State in their quest to win the Big Ten Championship versus No. 1 ranked Oregon.
The map below is based on geotagged X data from Saturday night to now, tracking tweets about the Big 10 Championship that included fan hashtags. For example, #GoDucks (Oregon) or #WeAre (Penn State). Over 70,000 tweets were tracked.
As you can see from the map, it seems the vast majority of college football fans want Penn State to hand #1 ranked Oregon their first loss of the season, which would also have implications for the upcoming College Football Playoff in terms of seeding.
Gambling911.com's pick is on Penn State to cover the +3.5 line, not necessarily win this game.
We're also on Georgia as a rare underdog versus Texas in Atlanta Saturday.
