Washington vs Indiana Prediction
Washington should be up for this game at home, but who cares. Washington has lost seven times at home this season and is in awful form right now, with losses in seven of its last 10 games. Indiana has the talent to be a sneaky team in the Big Ten and could be making a last second push after wins over Purdue and Penn State. Regardless of venue, Indiana is the better team and in better form. I’ll lay the bucket with the Hoosiers on the road.
