Michigan a -27.5 point favorite over Indiana

I thought Indiana would do better this year and they did give MSU and PSU all they could handle however they appear to be degrading as the season moves on.  They only beat Maryland because Maryland turned the ball over 4 times.  27-28 point gap is in most of the statistical rankings.  Hot seat report indicates that Coach Allen is in a warm but affordable seat.  They don't seem to be improving compared to last year.  Senior day for a few walk-ons?

PSU got much of their big play reputation based on play in Bloomington.

The SEC is forcing the bigger spread, so if we don't cover, they have more ammo for an all-SEC CFP!

Indiana is not very good but better than Rutgers.

It’s Senior Night. They are going to play hard for the seniors on the team. I expect Winovich to have a big first half. Lots of emotion. Indiana kinda sucks so it helps the cause. They cover methodically.

My first reaction is that it's a lot of points.  But, then I remember that nobody can score on our defense.

Indiana offensive S&P+ is ranked 82nd and most of their offense is coming in the air. (255 yards per game).   That's not a good place to be heading into Michigan stadium in November.

Indiana defense is giving up 414 yards per game with 181 rushing.  Last 5 games they've given up 33-49 points per game.

Mother nature, turnovers, and backup quarterbacks playing early are only things that would keep us from covering.  

I see another 30+ point beatdown.  

Cool. So when Michigan barely doesn't cover in frigid shitty conditions, we're going to have 50 posts about how the committee is going to put two SEC teams. 

IU needed 4 TOs' to beat Maryland at home by 2. 

This is the last home game for seniors, early entries, and transfers. I expect a beatdown.

IU also beat Rutger by 7 when Rutger was playing much worse. 

This would be more of a game if it were at IU, but it isn't. Michigan hasn't had a game closer than 21 at home this year. 

Hopefully, Michigan comes fast and gets Peters come significant playing time vs his home state team.  

Will be the third of five straight 42-7 victories. 

Senior day.  Going to bring it on defense. Spread is going down.

I would love this to be the outcome and have the luxury to pull starters. Hx, though, does not let me believe this spread. I think 18.5 is more reasonable; BPONE-lite

LFG!!!!!!

hail 

Seems a tad high, like the game against Rutgers.  I'd be all over that bet if it was 21.  Teasing for 6.5 with the over seems reasonable.

We seem to play well at home. I could see a 35-7 or 42-14 victory. I don't care if we we win by a point or 100 points. Just win!

Way too high. This will be a 30-20 type game as our thoughts will be elsewhere.

This game will still be frustratingly close for at least the first half because this is what Indiana does. Also, I expect part of the reason for this is that Harbaugh will go full-vanilla offense again this weekend. Protect Shea at all costs and get him ready for the biggest game of his young career.

I imagine a lot of power I next Saturday, probably zero zone reads from Shea, and then the playbook swings wide open in Columbus. My guess is the score is something like 17-10 at the half and then 45-24 at the end of the game.

Indiana worries me because they have nothing to lose. They'll go for it on 4th down every time. I also just want our players to be healthy.  One of the Glasgows tore their pec during this game and that was a huge loss.

Indiana has been really tough for us the last few years. 

2015 - OT

2016 - competitive into the second half. The snow saved us.

2017 - OT

We will get a good game from them. 

This is not nearly the same caliber of Indiana team that has given us trouble lately. Further, this Michigan team does not have the major weaknesses that have allowed these recent Indiana iterations to give us such trouble. 

45-10. Michigan wins and Nordin gets back in the groove.

Just win baby! Oh and no targeting in the second half! Ok thanks, go blue!!! 

Too high. It'll be a 14-21pt game.

The main goal of this two game stretch is to clean up the passing game and get out healthy. Indiana will come to play and don't bw surprised if it's still a game at halftime.

This is a great game pre-osu. Did you hear IU's coach? He basically said they just need to sling it all over the field and throw it to the big receivers. Couldn't be a better warmup before osu if you ask me. They have got to keep osu from big plays and man nice practice coming up this weekend for that. 

on the road ill take points, and at home ill give points   we tend to start off very slow on road vs at home

Michigan is averaging 45 points per game at home and 25 points per game on the road.  This spread isn't as crazy as expecting them to cover a 40 point spread on the road at Rutgers.

I saw Minnesota's offense go gang-busters on Indiana.  MN would have won by 21+ if not for three straight turnovers. 

That defense is horrendous.  Lot's of big gains in order.  Pick the number of points Michigan wants to score.

Sure seems a little high considering how IU has played usthe past few years. Let’s just win this one. I don’t want to look past anyone right now.
