Penn State-Temple Predictions: Will the Lions dominate again in Week 2?

Penn State starts its 2026 season with a convincing 45-0 win over Marshall and heads to Philadelphia this weekend to face Temple at Lincoln Financial Field. The Nittany Lions are listed as 23.5-point favorites, per Polymarket, and the matchup has long leaned PSU’s way: Penn State has won 40 of 45 meetings. The main recent concern is 2015, when Temple beat Penn State in Philadelphia. Penn State looks poised to avoid costly mistakes, with one prediction projecting a 38-10 result. Other staff takes range from 48-7 to a similar Week 1-style blowout.
