Penn State is 3-2 while playing a relatively tough schedule and the only losses were to Seton Hall in overtime and at Michigan on Sunday.

Illinois lost 91-88 to Rutgers even while shooting nearly 54 percent from the field. Izaiah Brockington led Penn State with 14 points versus the Wolverines, but he shot only 5 of 14 from the floor. The Nittany Lions had covered the spread seven times in a row against Illinois before losing 62-56 last season. The Illini have covered just one of their last five road games and they are 2-7 ATS versus teams with winning records dating to last season. Penn State is 13-5-1 ATS its last 19 games as an underdog. Take Penn State.
