College football betting, odds: Villanova causes one of the worst bad beats you'll see this year in college football

For most of the game on Saturday, there wasn't a lot to cheer about as a Villanova fan against No. 2 Penn State. The Nittany Lions were up 21-0 at halftime, 52-0 late in the fourth quarter and Villanova had under 200 yards of offense.

But on 4th-and-goal from the Penn State 8-yard line on the final play of the game, Wildcats QB Tanner Maddocks rolled to his right and threw a pass to WR Brandon Binkowski — who made a ridiculous one-handed grab for the touchdown.

Why do we care?

Well, that's because Penn State was a 47.5-point favorite at sportsbooks, and that TD made the score 52-6 — a 46-point margin. That means that Villanova covered the spread in the game, despite not covering for literally one second of the game.

The extra point wasn't kicked because the final-play TD had no bearing on the outcome of the game — just don't tell that to Penn State backers.

Penn State moved to 0-3 against the spread this season.
