The Washington Huskies and the Indiana Hoosiers meet Saturday in college football action from the Rock. Here’s an Indiana vs Washington prediction. We will look at this from a betting perspective and determine the best Indiana vs Washington pick.
Washington Huskies Betting Preview
Washington won three of their first four games this year over Weber State, Eastern Michigan and Northwestern (with a loss to Washington State). The next trio was a 2-1 run as well with wins over Northwestern and Michigan around a loss to Rutgers.
Washington fell into the loss column against Iowa back on October 12 in their last outing. The Huskies gave up 17 points in the final quarter on the way to a 40-16 result. QB Will Rogers finished with 195 yards, one TD and one pick. Tops in rushing was Jonah Coleman with 80 yards on nine totes.
Indiana Hoosiers Betting Preview
Over on the Indiana side, they rattled off a string of wins during a nice start this year. The Hoosiers beat FIU, Western Illinois and UCLA in their first trio. The next three were wins over Charlotte, Maryland and Northwestern.
Indiana played Nebraska last weekend. The Hoosiers scored double-digit points in the final three quarters during a 56-7 blowout victory. Kurtis Rourke had 189 years and a score. Tayven Jackson went 7-of-8 passing with 91 yards and two touchdowns of his own.
Indiana vs Washington Prediction
I’ll stay with Indiana. The Hoosiers didn’t have too many difficulties dispatching a good Nebraska team in their last outing. Indiana bagged 495 total yards (215 rushing) in that one along with 7.9 yards per play and 24 first downs. On defense the Hoosiers posted five takeaways and held the Cornhuskers to just 4.1 yards per play.
As for Washington, they had a couple of turnovers versus Iowa in their last outing and went just 5-of-15 on third-down tries. The 220 rush yards allowed didn’t help either. I could see the Huskies rebounding in a better effort here but I don’t think they’ll cover in the end.
