They are 4-1 in their home games, 3-0 in their road games, and they are also 0-0 in their neutral site games this season, but they will be at home for this game.

The current betting odds have Penn State listed as a 13 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Penn State has looked really good in their games this season with their 7-1 record overall and their 4-1 conference record which has them right near the top of the Big Ten. They are also ranked as one of the best teams in the nation, but getting to the Big Ten Championship will be really difficult with 2 undefeated teams still left in the Big Ten. They are also coming off their first loss of the season to Ohio State and that loss is only going to hurt their chances of getting to the Big Ten Championship now. They still have hopes for the CFP though and they will be looking to bounce back at home from that loss in a big way. Meanwhile, Washington has looked good in their games this season with their 5-4 record overall, but their 3-3 conference record has them in the middle of the Big Ten. They are coming off a win over USC in their last one, but they are also 0-3 in their road games this season and have struggled playing games on the East coast this season. This is a bad situation for Washington to be in while Penn State is going to be angry from that loss to Ohio State, looking to take it out on Washington. They will still have the motivation too since they are in play to make the playoffs. The best way to place a bet here is on Penn State to cover the spread in this game.

“We're continuing to build the program the way we want it, which is going to take time. But to be able to get the win today against a USC team that I'm sure came in here expecting to win, and for us to be able to challenge and get the win after a tough third quarter really proud of our guys to be resilient.” - Jedd Fisch after his team’s win against USC in their last game. 

“We did some things that were good enough to win, other things we did not. You can’t have the ball inside the 5-yard line twice and come out with no points.” - James Franklin after his team’s loss against OSU in their last game.
