Wisconsin vs Penn State Picks & Props
WIS vs PSU Picks
NCAAF PicksFor both teams, the fourth quarter has been the least productive quarter so far this season. It’s the only quarter where Wisconsin hasn’t scored 20 total points this season, and the combined point total for the fourth is the lowest for the Badgers.
Penn State has scored 13 fewer points in the fourth than any other quarter and the combined point total is also the lowest in the fourth for the Nittany Lions. And that includes two garbage-time touchdowns opponents scored against Penn State backups.
Penn State enters Week 4 undefeated, but the Nittany Lions have yet to face a meaningful challenge. That changes against Wisconsin, which already tested itself against Notre Dame and showed it can move the ball against a top-ranked opponent. While the Badgers ultimately fell short, their performance provided valuable experience that Penn State has not yet gained this season. With the Nittany Lions still weeks away from their first ranked matchup, there is a concern that the lack of competition could catch up with them. Wisconsin presents an opportunity for Penn State to finally face some resistance, making the Badgers an intriguing side this week.
It's the Big Ten opener for both teams, which means scoring will drop. Penn State scores two fewer touchdowns per game in conference play, while Wisconsin loses one touchdown.
I'd stick with Wisconsin under 50% and getting more than touchdown. Penn State has not been tested yet, while the Badgers opened with Notre Dame. Wisconsin is getting an offensive playmaker back, while the Nits will likely be down one.
Wisconsin has won the second quarter in all three games, including over Notre Dame.
The Badgers’ 41 second-quarter points are 18 more than they’ve scored in any other quarter, and their six points allowed are 11 fewer than any other quarter.
Look for Wisconsin to make another strong push toward halftime in Happy Valley as Penn State is unable to pull away like during the non-conference schedule.
