In this article, we will formulate a Wisconsin vs Penn State Prediction for this College Football Week 9 game on Saturday, October 26th, at Camp Randall Stadium. Let’s take a look at a Wisconsin Badgers vs Penn State Nittany Lions pick.
Is Penn State Playing With Fire
Penn State sure appears that they have been playing with fire the last couple of games. Penn State wasn’t exactly dominant against UCLA, but they still ended up winning 27-11. In the last game against USC, it took 24 points in the second half to even force overtime, and they ended up winning 33-30. Drew Allar had a couple of bad mistakes, and he completed 30 of his 43 passes for 391 yards, two touchdowns, and three interceptions. If Penn State wants to be a serious National Title contender, Allar can’t be having these turnovers. Tyler Warren completed 17 catches for 224 yards and a touchdown.
Penn State on the season is averaging 34.2 points, while their defense is giving up 14.5 points per game. The offense is ranked 28th in the league while the defense is ranked 9th best in college football.
Can Wisconsin Play Spoiler?
Wisconsin sits with a 5-2 record overall but they can play a big-time spoiler in this game. In the last game against Northwestern, Wisconsin scored 23 points, and they ended up winning by 20 points. Brayden Locke completed 14 of his 24 passes for 160 yards, one touchdown, and one interception. Tawee Walker had a huge game on the ground, rushing 23 times for 126 yards but he didn’t find the end zone. Wisconsin overall this season is averaging 29 points, while their defense is giving up 17.6 points per game. In this game, Wisconsin is going to need the defense to step up in a big way here.
Wisconsin vs Penn State Prediction
Wisconsin is going to find a way to be competitive in this game and keep themselves in this game. I also wouldn’t be shocked if the Badgers were able to win this game outright. Wisconsin overall is averaging 29 points per game, and they are going to step up in a big way here. Penn State almost lost the last game against USC, and their defense is going to really struggle to slow down the Badgers here. Back Wisconsin against the spread here.
