Penn State at Wisconsin Picks & Betting Tips


Two good Big Ten defenses will be on show and that may result in a close, low-scoring game.

Wisconsin are the favorites, but this Penn State offense does have potential and several playmakers on it.

The Nittany Lions could spring an upset, but backing them to cover appears to be the better play.

  • Penn State have won 4 straight meetings with Wisconsin
  • Penn State are 4-0 against the spread in their last 4 conference games
  • Penn State are 6-3 against the spread in their last 9 road games
  • Penn State are 7-3 against the spread in their last 10 games as an underdog
  • Wisconsin are 0-4 against the spread in their last 4 conference games
  • Wisconsin are 1-4 against the spread in their last 5 games as the favorite

Head To Head


  • Penn State lead the all-time series 10-9
  • Penn State have won 6 of their last 7 games against Wisconsin

Penn State Form


Penn State made a miserable start to the 2020 season as they lost their first five games.

They finished the season hot though. The Nittany Lions won four straight and wrapped up with a blowout win over Illinois.

Experienced QB Sean Clifford returns, as does star wide receiver Jahan Dotson (884 yards, 8 TDs last year).

Dotson is not the only playmaker on this offense so there is plenty of potential in this group for 2021.

Defensively they are one of the better teams in the conference, so Penn State could be a regular sight this season.

Wisconsin Form


Wisconsin finished the 2020 regular season with a 3-2 and saw a couple of their games get cancelled.

They did appear in a Bowl Game and it was a successful outing. The Badgers beat Wake Forest 42-28 in Duke’s Mayo Bowl.

Graham Mertz is back at quarterback and the Badgers will be looking for more consistency from him.

Defensively there are no real concerns. They kept five of their seven opponents below 20 points last season and will be tough to score on again in 2021.
