Indiana vs Michigan Prediction
The Indiana Hoosiers are always a tough out at home, but they’ve lost four straight games and have allowed no less than 76 points in seven straight games. That’s not ideal when going up against a Michigan offense that’s top-25 in scoring and top-10 in field goal percentage. Michigan has failed to cover six straight games, but the Wolverines have four road wins on the season, and we’re not being asked to lay anything crazy. Indiana is watching its season unravel quickly, and it’s going to be a long night if the defense doesn’t improve. Give me Michigan and the small chalk on the road.
