Against the spread
LEAN WASHINGTON +13.5 (-110).
Washington has been solid competition for some good Big Ten squads, and with Penn State’s morale being lower now than at any point of the season, the Huskies have the perfect opportunity to make this a close game. Look for Penn State to be sluggish coming out the gate, allowing Washington to stay in this game.
This is a lean because both teams have been bad ATS this season and because Penn State has won by bigger margins vs. better teams, like its 21-7 win over Illinois.
Over/Under
BET UNDER 46.5 (-110).
These are 2 of the best defenses in the Big Ten. Penn State allows just 278.9 yards per game (YPG) and 15 points per game (PPG), eighth-best in the nation. Washington allows 292.8 YPG and 19 PPG (ranking 21st). Combine that with the way that Penn State’s offense struggled vs. Ohio State and you’ve got the perfect equation for the Under to hit here.
