SATURDAY COLLEGE PICKS – PENN STATE vs. WISCONSIN


Wisconsin has looked impressive this year, save for two midseason losses on last-minute plays. Penn State enters this contest with an “us against the world” mentality. Since the controversy erupted, they have played hard with confidence and consistency. They lost a close game to Nebraska at home coming back to make it close, and then won at Ohio State last week.

Wisconsin might have been looking ahead last week during their game vs. Illinois. They won, putting up 28 points but didn’t look overly sharp. In this game they will be facing the best defense that they’ve seen all year.

The key for Penn State is balance on offense as they have been playing with one hand tied behind their back this season. In their win over Ohio State, McGloin completed just 10 of 18 passes for a total of 88 yards. The Nittany Lions will need to do a better job with the passing game this week if they want to have a shot at the upset.

The current line at Sportsbetting.ag is Wisconsin -15. Wisconsin’s offense is balanced but the Lions’ defense is good enough to keep things close.
Pick: Take Penn State plus the 15 points
