Penn State vs Washington Prediction 

These two teams come into this matchup at the bottom of the Big Ten standings, but one team will get a much needed win and Penn State will be at home. The Nittany Lions are shooting 47.6% from the field this year, but they have scored 64 points or fewer in three of their last four games. Washington has alternated wins and losses over their last five games, but they have struggled to play a full 40 minutes. The Huskies are shooting 44.4% from the field this year and they have allowed 93 and 86 points in their last two losses. I don’t really like either team in this matchup, but I certainly don’t trust Washington’s shooting on the road. Take Penn State here.
