Indiana +3.5 vs Michigan

Indiana has not beaten Michigan since 1986, which ironically is the same year they last beat Penn State, prior to Week 1 of this Big Ten season.

The Hoosiers are looking to recreate the magic of ’86 and take down the Wolverines and move to 3-0 this season. Michigan is coming off a brutal loss to rival Michigan State in which has been an up and down start to the season for Harbaugh’s squad.

Michigan’s defense was exposed last week, giving up 449 yards to the Spartans, over 300 of them through the air. Not only did Michigan give up a ton of yards, they were flagged 10 times for 86 yards and were unable to force any turnovers. Indiana’s quarterback Michael Penix has big time weapons all over the field led by wide receivers Whop Philyor and Ty Fryfogle and should have success attacking this Michigan secondary.

This Indiana team has been building for a few years now, and it is starting to feel like this can be a special season in Bloomington. Don’t be surprised when they win outright.

The Pick: Indiana +3.5, Moneyline
