Why Bet on the Indiana Hoosiers?

The Indiana Hoosiers has played well in spots. In their first game of the season, the Hoosiers D held 3 Ohio State to 23 points.

Indiana State scored 7. Quality squad Louisville scored 21 in a close Indiana loss. In their last couple of games, though, Indiana’s D has struggled. The Hoosiers gave up 27 to Akron, a team many expected Indiana to dominate.

Indiana gave up 44 to Maryland in their last, a 44-17 loss. The Hoosiers face the best offense they’ve seen so far this season on Saturday. So we shouldn’t expect the defense to step it up.

At times, Indiana’s offense has played well, like when it scored 40 against Indiana State and 29 versus Akron. However, the Hoosiers could be in dire straits on Saturday.

The reason? Starting quarterback Tayven Jackson is out. Jackson wasn’t having a good season. But he was the starter. Brend Sorsby takes over. Sorsby completed just 56.3% of his passes versus Indiana State.

Why Bet on the Michigan Wolverines?

Michigan’s defense is one of the best in the nation. The Wolverines have allowed 10 points just once this season.

The 10 points Michigan allowed came in a 51-10 victory over Minnesota in Michigan’s last. East Carolina scored 3, UNLV scored 7, Bowling Green scored 6, and both Rutgers and Nebraska scored 7.

Although nobody is mentioning his name as a Heisman Trophy contender, quarterback J.J. McCarthy is posting Heisman-like stats. McCarthy is completing almost 78% of his passes.

J.J. has thrown 11 touchdowns to 3 picks and has thrown for 1,290 yards. When McCarthy doesn’t throw, he hands the ball to Blake Corum Corum averages 6 yards per carry. Corum has proven he’s the best back on the Wolverines’ roster.

Indiana vs. Michigan Expert Betting Predictions

Michigan absolutely dominated a decent Nebraska defense a couple of games ago. The Wolverines scored 45 against Nebraska.

Then after the 45-7 win over the Cornhuskers, Michigan came back in their next game to dominate Minnesota 51-10. No doubt, the Wolverines are going to win another game by over 40 points on Saturday.

Indiana has no chance of keeping this one within the spread line. The Hoosiers face Michigan on the road. So the Wolverines will be fired up to put on a show. Even when Coach Harbaugh pulls McCarthy and Corum in the second half, the Wolverines will continue to move the football and score points. A 63-3 win is not out of the question.
