I am shocked that this line is so low. I am seeing Indiana -6.5 and I was expecting closer to -14. Can someone explain what's going on here? Washington is 4-3 and has not won a road game yet this year. Indiana is 7-0 and just killing people. They are allowing just 13.7 PPG while scoring 48.7 PPG (1st in FBS). They just boat raced Nebraska 56-7 last week. What gives? Does Vegas know something?

Would really help you to maybe get a set of power ratings and watch how they are adjusted week to week.
This line was never going to be -14 due to the smaller power ratings disparity between UW and Indiana. In fact I know some people around here who hit Indiana -1.5 early last week.
it’s just not as easy as “wow this team looks great they are going to steam roll them”
This line stuck out to me. I am totally not sold on Washington, Conference road losses to Rutgers and Iowa, home wins against NW and Michigan.
Indiana has impressed and looks to be a playoff caliber team.
The Nebraska score was pumped out of whack by turnovers. Say it should have been a 42-21 win.
Do you think Washington is markedly better then Nebraska? I don't. Like IU @ home here.
At that number, and for the reasons you suggest, the entire civilized world (and parts of Arkansas) will be on the Hoosiers here. Does that mean the entire civilized world (and parts of Arkansas) are necessarily wrong? No, but, as a rule, I try and stay on the side of the folks who build casinos, not the folks who gamble in them. That said, I felt the same way about Kansas (-5) last week, and they won by 73*, though I don't think they were quite as popular with the punters at IU will be. Good luck whatever you do.
