Handicapping Indiana vs Michigan
Indiana seems unstoppable right now having won a dozen games in a row and dispatching ranked Ohio State on the road quite easily its last time out. The Hoosiers’ quest to make their winning streak a baker’s dozen gets help from playing at home Thursday night.
Indiana’s offense averages nearly eight more points in Bloomington than it does on the road. Limiting that production will be crucial for Michigan as the Hoosiers have won 23 of their last 24 outright when they score at least 66 points.
Bettors might want to stay away from the moneyline but consider the spread and total on this contest. Indiana is fourth in the nation in terms of scoring margin, averaging outscoring their opponents by 21.3 points per game. Combined, these two teams average scoring 158.3 points per game.
