Majority believe that Penn State will cover the 6.5-point spread vs. Wisconsin in Week 9

The Wisconsin Badgers are set to take on the Penn State Nittany Lions in Week 9, with kickoff set for 6:30 p.m. at Camp Randall Stadium on Saturday.

Wisconsin, standing at 5-2, is riding a three-game win streak, and is looking to add to that in a major way when Penn State comes to town this weekend.

The Nittany Lions, on the other hand, are 6-0 and ranked as the No. 3 team in the nation, trailing only the Oregon Ducks and Georgia Bulldogs in this week's AP Top 25 poll.

They're coming off a bye week, and will look to remain undefeated when they come to Madison, facing one of the hotter teams in the country.

Currently, FanDuel Sportsbook has Wisconsin as 6.5-point underdogs, with the over/under set at 47.5 points.

Will the Badgers cover the spread or will it be Penn State winning by at least a touchdown on Saturday night?

In our weekly reacts poll, only 44 percent of fans believe that the Badgers will ultimately cover the spread, with a majority siding with Penn State, despite the recent hot stretch.

I've predicted Penn State to cover, but still expect it to be a close game with the two sides battling it out on a chilly Saturday evening, with the defenses looking to impose their will.

Still, it wouldn't be a surprise at all if Wisconsin ends up covering or even winning outright, as the Badgers have the right pieces, but will need a high level of execution to pull off the upset on both sides of the ball.
