Minnesota has suffered two consecutive losses, to Purdue by a score of 20-10 and to Illinois by a score of 26-14 in the most recent meeting. However, they have four wins to their credit, so this could just be a terrible streak.
They started the season on Week 1 with a crushing 38-0 win over New Mexico State, and then followed that up with three more wins over Western Illinois 62-10, Colorado 49-7 and Michigan State 34-7. With those results, they are in third place in the Big Ten Conference (West), where they are the third team with the fewest points against (70).
Betting on the Penn State Nittany Lions
- Regular season record: 5-1
- DraftKings Spread: -5
- BetMGM Moneyline: -200
- Over/Under: 45
Penn State has only lost one of its six games played so far, but that loss came in the most recent game by a score of 41-17 to Michigan. In this match, they’ll try to recover from that loss that ruined their perfect record.
They had previously posted wins over Purdue by scores of 35-31, Ohio 46-10, Auburn 41-12, Central Michigan 33-14 and Northwestern 17-7. Although the offense has not been as productive, it’s making up for that on defense: they are currently the third-lowest team in the Big Ten Conference (East) in points against (115).
JefeBet Prediction
These teams didn’t look well in their previous games, but Minnesota is starting to be worrying, since they failed to respond quickly enough in their two consecutive losses. Now it’s time to see if Penn State could come away with the win after their first loss.
Prediction: Penn State win by a score of 28-17.
