Wisconsin vs Penn St. Odds and Betting Pick Week 1
WynnBET’s Week 1 NCAA odds have the Badgers favored by six points at home. With the Badgers’ elite defense season, the Badgers’ should be able to slow down the offensive attack of Penn St., despite the loss of Chenal.
The offense returns almost every starter from a year ago. Graham Mertz is going to be the X-factor for the Badgers. If he is comfortable and making the passes we know he can make, this offense should be able to score enough points to win their opening game this year.
Although I think the Badgers will win, I’m not as confident that they will cover the six-point spread. Penn St. has a new offensive coordinator this year and a confident quarterback coming to town. The Nittany Lions also have one of the Big Ten’s best receivers in Jahan Dotson. I think it’s going to be a close one in Madison, so I would feel better taking the money line rather than picking Wisconsin against the spread.
