Handicapping Indiana vs Ohio State
While the Hoosiers enter this contest on an impressive 11-game winning streak that has catapulted them to the top of the conference standings, streaks exist for one reason. That is to be broken. The Buckeyes could be the ones to do that Monday.
For starters, Indiana averages allowing almost eight more points per game away from Bloomington. Furthermore, Ohio State averages slightly more points per game than the Hoosiers overall (83.1-81.5). If the Buckeyes become the latest team to take advantage of Indiana’s inferior road defense, they stand a decent shot to at least upset the spread if not win outright.
Ohio State is 13-0 this season when they shoot better than their average (47.3%). Live betting might actually be a good option for this game. The Buckeyes average allowing 66 points per game on the season. At the same time, the Hoosiers are 22-1 on the season when they score at least 66 points.
