Penn State checks in at No. 7 in the fourth AP poll, as the Nittany Lions look to continue their dominance, this time over a familiar foe.

While rain could put a damper on the atmosphere of the annual White Out game inside Beaver Stadium, James Franklin‘s team looks to stay perfect and on course for a possible College Football Playoff berth.

Picks for the Week

Did you know six years ago, on Saturday, Trace McSorley threw the game-winner to Juwan Johnson on the last play to beat Iowa? What a game and season that was. Saturday will mark this season’s whiteout. If you’ve never experienced this firsthand, I suggest you do. It’s truly like no other environment in sports.

This Saturday will be Penn State’s test to see if they can fix some of their errors against a good Illinois defensive unit. Iowa needs some pieces on the offensive side, so I will watch how the defense plays on that side of the ball.

Penn State gives the fans what they want on their white-out night and takes care of business quickly.

Penn State covers the 15-point spread.

Prediction: Penn State 55  Iowa 17

Big Ten Pick of the Week

Ohio State (-3) vs. Notre Dame    7:30 pm/NBC

I want to see how Ohio State handles this road matchup against Notre Dame. If you’re a Penn State fan, you should be rooting for OSU here due to the Notre Dame schedule after this matchup.

Give me Ohio State -3.
