Michigan at Indiana odds, picks and predictions
The Michigan Wolverines (5-0, 2-0 Big Ten) square off against the Indiana Hoosiers (3-2, 1-1) Saturday at Memorial Stadium. Kickoff is at noon ET (FOX). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Michigan vs. Indiana odds, and make our expert college football picks and predictions.
The Wolverines are 1 of just 3 teams that remain undefeated in the Big Ten after taking down Iowa 27-14 last week. RB Blake Corum is making a case to be a Heisman candidate this year with 611 rushing yards and 10 rushing touchdowns in the first 5 games of the season.
The Hoosiers got off to a hot start to the season by winning their first 3 games. However, Indiana has lost 2 straight games and now faces an uphill battle for the rest of the season with Michigan, Ohio State, and Penn State still on the schedule.
Michigan is the No. 4 ranked team in the AFCA Coaches Poll powered by USA TODAY Sports.

Prediction
Michigan 44, Indiana 17
Moneyline
Just AVOID taking the moneyline in this game as Michigan should be able to cruise to a victory on the road against Indiana. However, the odds for the Wolverines are at a point where the risk isn’t worth the return.
Against the spread
MICHIGAN -22.5 (-112) is the ideal choice in this game if you’re betting the spread. The Wolverines should be able to control the time of possession with their rushing attack led by Corum and QB J.J. McCarthy will play mistake-free football again Saturday.
Michigan is 4-0 ATS in its last 4 road games against a team with a winning record and 6-1 ATS in its last 7 conference games. Meanwhile, Indiana is 1-10 ATS in its last 11 games following an ATS loss and 1-7 ATS in its last 8 home games.
Over/Under
One might think to take the Under in this game due to Michigan likely leaning on its ground game to control the time of possession. The thing is, the Wolverines should have plenty of success running the ball and they’ll do enough through the air to help OVER 59 (-108) hit against the Hoosiers.
The Over has hit in 9 out of the last 10 games for Indiana when it’s going up against a team with a winning record at home. Also, the Over has hit in each of the last 5 meetings between the Wolverines and the Hoosiers when the game takes place in Indiana.
