In a key Big Ten matchup, the Michigan State Spartans welcome the Indiana Hoosiers to Spartan Stadium on Saturday afternoon. The Hoosiers are simply looking for a win in this game because they have dropped seven straight games and are winless in the Big Ten.

Indiana vs Michigan State Key Stats
The Hoosiers' season has been nothing short of difficult, and despite having recently competed for a Big Ten championship, they are currently winless in the league. There are many concerns about how the Hoosiers will win this game given their horrendously poor offense and some of the outside absences.
Despite being 60th in passing, they are ranked 115th nationwide in total yards, which is inevitably going to be impacted by the receiving position's dearth of choices. Controlling the game without a running game as well looks unlikely for this squad.
After a sluggish start to the season, the Spartans have been more successful recently. With the Hoosiers visiting, they should have a good chance of winning again. Even though the Spartans have battled on both sides of the ball, their scoring defense ranking of 60th nationally demonstrates their resilience.
Despite only averaging about 20 more offensive yards per game than the Hoosiers, a victory in this game is likely given the low-scoring nature of the contest and the upward trajectory of their offense.
Indiana vs Michigan State Best Picks and Prediction
The Spartans' offense is talented on the outside and has experience at quarterback, so the Hoosiers' defense, which hasn't been particularly strong in its own right, will have a fantastic opportunity to play well and establish themselves.
Additionally, according to covers.com, Indiana is 2-12 ATS in their previous 14 games after an ATS loss and is 0-6 ATS in their last six road games. In addition, over the course of their previous 13 home games, Michigan State is 8-3-2 ATS.
Pick: Spartans -10.5 (-110)
