Michigan vs Indiana

Indiana + 10.5    

So I am sitting at the bar having a drink watchin the game tonight pulling for OSU to pull out a ML win for me..  ( Thanks IN4U )

Out of nowhere I hear some guy yapping about how Michigan is in for a very tough game with Indiana this weekend. He goes on and on about how the QB for Indiana ( Ben Chappel ) is really good and also very underated.  So I check into it not having paid attention to the hosiers this season.

He has thrown 9 TD's without a pick and is currently  tied at 10th in the nation. that's not bad at all!  Granted he played games against Towson - Western Kentucky and Akron

Hosiers are now 3-0 which is a good start for them but going 4-0 is not likely as they havent beaten the Wolverines since 1987 and have won just once in 32 meetings. History is not on their side

Mike Shaw - the Wolverines 2nd leading rusher could be out of this game which would be a big help.

Robinson did injur his knee and had to come out of the game vs Bowling Green and has been limited in practice this week.

Michigan was lucky to beat Indiana last year only winning by 3 points in Michigan but other than that they have won by an average of 21.5 points

Makes me think this line is a bit too low based on the history and maybe they are trying to bait us into jumping on Michigan.

I also like the Over 65.5

Indiana D is terrible and Michigan has some issues as well being at 93rd in the nation giving up over 400 yards per game. This could be a shootout.

I have watched all the Michigan games and parts of the Indy games and your right this will be shootout. Check the injury and weather reports and if everything looks okay this game should have around 80 points scored in it. Indy's defense is horrible and Michigan can name its number if they want to. Michigan has been weak on defense as well and Indy will score some of its own.

Die hard Michigan fan here and I agree with siding with Indiana.

Stronger lean for me on the Over.  Michigan D is not good, Linebacker Mike Jones and Safety Mike Willimas will be out for this game.

RB's Mike Shaw and Fitz Toussaint are out also. 

Scoring, Scoring, Scoring....Michigan's O is good enough to lay 10 pts. on the road, but their D certainly isn't, which is why I would lean Indiana.

But, like I said, my play will be on the Over, which might hit in the 3rd quarter here.

This is a Big Ten battle, look for a lower score similar to Mich/ND game a couple weeks ago, where Mich won 28-24, I'm pulling for the hoosiers, there wouldn't be nothing better than seeing mich take a loss here, Denard Robinson is probable and should be limited on his speed which will in turn keep them from scoring a high total IMO, but michigan should sweep the floor with the hoosiers this week. i'd be careful on the spread, if mich defense comes to play then IU might not even get on the board.

BOL

last 10 matchups have be 50/50 on the spread.

Flip a coin.

GL GR, not a bad idea taking a DD home dog.  Not playing this game, but I think that is the right side.
