Scal I'm usually with you, but you are vastly underrating this Wisconsin D, which is undoubtedly top 5 in the nation. They didn't get up for the first half against Minnesota, but they will get up against Penn St., and do to them what they did to Iowa, Nebraska, and even Michigan at the big house, where they only held them to 14 pts. With all that said, this line is just about right at -3, and I expect the badgers to pull out a close one.

Are you speaking of the same Minnesota team who did not lose ATS on the road this year? The same Minnesota who shut down Penn State in Happy Valley for over 3 quarters, held Barkley to 19-68 line until he broke one in OT. Eerily similar to the game vs. Wisconsin where they controlled most of it and then Leidner threw a costly pick in the end zone early in the 4th when they had the game in control. McSorley? Made 2-3 big plays in that game, only 19-41 passing. They got lucky to make it to OT.
Minnesota/Wisconsin... a rivalry game. Not just a rivalry game... the OLDEST rivalry game. If you're trying to discount Wisconsin because of that game last week you're wrong.
Wisconsin/Iowa? Another long standing rivalry game that is usually a slugfest... 17-9 this year, 10-6 last year. Iowa no slouch, just ask Michigan.
PSU happy to be there with bigger aspirations. Wisconsin was disrespected all year... All the talk was about OSU and Michigan. Wisconsin supposed to get crushed by LSU in Lambeau. Wisconsin RSW was 7.5. They want it just as bad if not more than PSU.
We'll see tonight.... I think it's gonna be low scoring and ugly early. Nerves from QB's on both sides early.
Good luck
Big difference when PSU is playing Minny in Game 4 of the season with key defensive starters injured and not even starting the roll it is on now compared to game 12 where Matt Leidner almost took down potential national championship hopes.
The Wisky disrespect angle is so tiresome. They are ranked 6th in the nation. They are favored on a neutral field against the most explosive PSU offense of my lifetime. That is respect. They have it. PSU and their redemption angle from the Paterno scandal is far more powerful and evident in terms of psychological capping.
Low scoring and ugly is perfectly fine. That's why I took 3 points. Wisky needs to win by 4 to cash. That's too much IMO. PSU is the side here.
Iowa no slouch? Ask Rutgers too.....

I'm no underrating them at all. We know what they are. This won't be a blowout. If I did I would have taken the ML. Wisky has to win by 4. That's too much IMO.
And if you say "win in a close one" and are LAYING 3, you are playing with fire.

Penn St is so overrated! They have been given way too much credit ever since the win over OSU. Played 2 ranked teams all year. Got housed by Michigan. Should have lost to OSU, but OSU crapped the bed. It's a joke that Penn State backers think they deserve playoff consideration.

Had 500 on Penn State but buying out now. Too much public getting killed today (so far 1-6 against public and looking like a 1-9) - Vegas has to give some back - may as well be the game that's got the most even spread of money 50/50.
