The oddsmakers like Penn State’s chances to remain unbeaten following their road trip to Madison to take on a suddenly resurgent Wisconsin team. The Nittany Lions have opened as an 8.5 point favorite for their prime time battle with the Badgers in Camp Randall.
The Badgers moved to 5-2 on Saturday following a 23-3 victory over Northwestern. Wisconsin enters the game on a three-game winning streak to recover from a 2-2 start that included lopsided losses to Alabama and USC.
The Badgers defense has given up just 16 points during the last three weeks to Purdue, Rutgers, and Northwestern, outscoring them 117-16 in three consecutive blowout victories.
