Indiana vs. Michigan Picks

The Indiana Hoosiers had a week off to prepare for this incredible matchup and are passing the ball decently well, with 224 passing yards per game. Freshman quarterback Tayven Jackson has thrown an interception in his last three games, so expect that to continue here against one of the best defenses.

The Michigan Wolverines have been an incredible running program offensively, as they are averaging 185.2 rushing yards per game. Senior running back Blake Corum has been on fire lately and has nine rushing touchdowns in his last five games, including at least one in each game. Expect him to find the end zone multiple times in this game.

Indiana vs. Michigan Head-to-Head

The two teams have played each other 69 times, with Michigan leading the rivalry 50–17–2.

This is not an even fight, but this is asking for way too many points to be comfortable with. Indiana had an extra week to prepare for one of the best teams in college football. The Hoosiers will struggle here but are averaging 25.3 points in their last four games, so expect this game to be a blowout but not enough to cover the spread.
