Actually - Michigan is only giving up only an average of 23 a game.
Despite the competition level, Indiana is 92nd in rushing defense. This is suck on a truly epic level:
| Opponent | Att | Yards | TD | YPC |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Towson | 42 | 227 | 0 | 5.4 |
| WKU | 29 | 155 | 2 | 5.3 |
| Akron | 28 | 168 | 0 | 6.0 |
Akron managed 55 yards against Syracuse, Towson 87 against Columbia. Sacks make that better but I can't be bothered to figure out exactly how much given the incredible weakness of IU opponents and IU's incredible weakness against them. Once the crappiness reaches a second derivative I'm done parsing sacks.
What???
The Over is the best pick on the game....like the MI/ND game...no way...this is a shootout similar to last night's OSU v. A&m game.
MI will score and plenty; IU's defense simply cannot stop MI's O even if Robinson was running on 1 leg....BUT, MI's defense cant stop Chappel either.
Chappel is a red shirt senior who has bene playing with his receivers for 2 solid years. He is #1 passing in the Big 10..and MI's less than perfect D..KNOWS that Indiana's passign attack is real and they will respect it.
I don't think MI can keep IN from scoring 4 touchdowns...the question is can IN's D keep MI from scoring 38 or less....
I think they can (emp...think). Bet the O...but I think IN holds it within 10 total.....GL
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.
