Indiana @ #7 Michigan

What will be the GAME RESULT?

Indiana: Wins or Single Digit Loss

@ #7 Michigan: Wins By Double Digits

 

Current odds:

Indiana Hoosiers: (+850)

Michigan Wolverines: (-1600)

 

• The spread for the game is Michigan by 20.5 points.

• Michigan showed it could move the football through the air on Saturday against rival Michigan State. What the Wolverines couldn’t do was hold an 16-point, second-half lead, as they fell 37-33. No. 9 Michigan (7-1, 4-1 Big Ten) will look to bounce back from the disappointing first loss of the season on Saturday when it hosts reeling Indiana.

• The Wolverines have been most effective moving the ball on the ground this season, averaging a league-best 239.9 yards rushing per game. But with Michigan State taking the run away, Michigan showed the ability to adapt. The Wolverines’ loss did not harm their standing too much in the eyes of the College Football Playoff committee. Michigan debuted at No. 7 in the first CFP rankings of the season Tuesday night, one spot ahead of undefeated Oklahoma.

• Indiana (2-6, 0-5) is coming off a 38-35 loss at Maryland. The Hoosiers have lost four straight and are still seeking their first conference win after notching six Big Ten wins in seven attempts a season ago. Five of the Hoosiers’ six losses this season have come against teams that were ranked in the Top 25 at the time of the matchup.

• True freshman quarterback Donaven McCulley likely will make his second career start for Indiana, as starter Michael Penix Jr. (shoulder) and backup Jack Tuttle (foot) continue to rehab. McCulley set an Indiana true freshman passing yardage record in his first start, completing 14 of 25 passes for 242 yards and two touchdowns against Maryland. Tight end Peyton Hendershot has emerged as one of Indiana’s top receivers with 35 catches for 447 yards and four scores this season. The senior caught two touchdown passes at Maryland, matching his career high set at Rutgers last year.
