Penn State Football a two score favorite as the Fighting Illini make the trip to Happy Valley for a regular season finale at Beaver Stadium.

Penn State Football enters Saturday’s contest with Illinois riding a three game winning streak after defeating Michigan State last week 39-24.

On the other side, Illinois arrives in State College sans their now former head coach Lovie Smith, and on the back of a two game losing streak.

The Nittany Lions are starting to look more like the team that was ranked in the top 10 in the preseason and many thought would compete for a Big Ten title and potentially the College Football Playoff.
