Penn State at Wisconsin picks and predictions
Prediction
Penn State 27, Wisconsin 14
Moneyline
PASS.
Penn State will pick up the win as a -250 favorite, but the Nittany Lions are not worth the risk of betting on as such heavy favorites. Bet on the spread and/or O/U instead.
Against the spread
BET PENN STATE -6.5 (-110).
Penn State will need a game to get its confidence up before going against the juggernaut Ohio State Buckeyes in its next outing, so expect the Nittany Lions to come out firing here. The Nittany Lions also can’t afford another close game vs. an underdog like they had vs. USC, giving Penn State even more motivation to pick up this win by a comfortable margin.
Over/Under
LEAN UNDER 47.5 (-110).
Both squads are very good defensively, with Penn State allowing only 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 hit in 3 of Penn State’s last 4 games.
This is a lean because both squads average over 29 points per game and because the Over is 4-1 in Wisconsin’s last 5.
