Penn State at Wisconsin picks and predictions

forecast

Penn State 27, Wisconsin 14

Money line

HAPPEN.

Penn State will take the win as a -250 favorite, but the Nittany Lions aren't worth the risk of betting as such a big favorite. Instead, bet on the spread and/or O/U.

Against the spread

BET PENN STATE -6.5 (-110).

Penn State will need a game to boost its confidence before facing the mighty Ohio State Buckeyes in its next game. So expect the Nittany Lions to come out with flying colors here. The Nittany Lions also can't afford another close game against an underdog like they did against USC, which gives Penn State even more motivation to get this win by a comfortable margin.

Over/Under

LEAN UNDER 47.5 (-110).

Both teams are very good defensively, with Penn State allowing just 262.5 yards per game and 14.5 points per game and Wisconsin allowing 295.7 yards and 17.6 points per game.

The Under has also scored in three of Penn State's last four games.

This is a lean affair because both teams are averaging over 29 points per game and because the over is 4-1 in Wisconsin's last 5.
