Penn State has won and covered the past four meetings with Illinois, which is on a 2-4-1 ATS run after not getting the money as a 7-point favorite in an 81-77 win over Washington on Sunday. The Nittany Lions have won six of eight, but had their four-game win streak snapped in a 77-71 loss to Indiana as they missed 18 of 21 from 3-point range. Penn State is 6-1 ATS its past seven road games against the Fighting Illini, who are 0-7 ATS their past seven Wednesday games. The Nittany Lions have six scorers averaging double figures led by Ace Baldwin with 14.8 and the team shoots 50.4 percent from the field. Look for them to stay within the number.
