Don't miss out on this matchup between these two Big Ten teams and don't miss out on our Penn State vs Minnesota prediction right here.

Penn State Looking For 10th Win This Season

Penn State is 9-1 overall this season and 6-1 in Big Ten play. But thanks to the play of teams like Oregon and Indiana this season, and a loss to Ohio State, the Nittany Lions sit in fourth place in the Big Ten standings. That means they need to keep winning and get some help in order to have a chance of making the conference title game in a couple of weeks. Whether that happens or not, Penn State can get to 10 wins on the season with a win at Minnesota this week. Since losing to Ohio State, the Nittany Lions have allowed 16 total points in two games against Purdue and Washington and they will look to stay hot on defense this weekend.

Minnesota Looks to Rebound From Rutgers Loss

Minnesota had an extended winning streak snapped the last time we saw them, as they lost on the road against Rutgers two weeks ago. The Golden Gophers are back on the field after an idle week this week and will look to stay above .500 in Big Ten play with an upset win at home. We have seen Minnesota beat USC at home already this season. But upsetting Penn State there would be an even tougher challenge given how well Penn State has played on both sides of the ball in every game but their loss to Ohio State.

Penn State vs Minnesota Best Bet

Reluctantly, we are going to take the points with the home team in this Penn State vs Minnesota matchup from Minneapolis. Penn State doesn't have much standing in the way of them and an 11-win season this year. But we expect Minnesota to put up a fight in this game and to do just enough on both sides of the ball to keep this one within single-digits at home.
