When the No. 21 Penn State Nittany Lions welcome the Wisconsin Badgers to Beaver Stadium on Saturday they will do so as favorites. The early line is out, and the Nittany Lions start the week at -9.
The line being this high is a bit of a surprised. While the Nittany Lions are ranked and the Badgers are not, Wisconsin is a power run team which is a bad matchup for Penn State.
Both teams enter Saturday’s game with questions surrounding their quarterbacks. Wisconsin’s Alex Hornibrook did not play two weeks ago against Northwestern and left their victory over Rutgers this past Saturday due to concussion concerns.
