Prediction
Michigan 74, Indiana 69
Moneyline (ML)
The last time Indiana (+280) got a win against the Wolverines in Michigan (-358) was in 2016, and they have lost three straight in the Crisler Center. Since 2017 (Archie Miller’s first season as Indiana’s head coach), the Hoosiers are just 23-30 outright against Big Ten opponents, whereas Michigan has the third-best conference record at 40-18 over that timespan. There are not obvious matchup edges for the Hoosiers to exploit so I cannot talk myself into a moneyline bet on their side, and Michigan -358 is too chalky. PASS ON A MONEYLINE WAGER.
Against the Spread (ATS)
The Crisler Center will be rocking on Sunday afternoon when Michigan hosts Indiana for their only meeting this season. The Hoosiers struggle on the road going 1-5 against the spread away from Indiana. Also, Indiana has a 1-8 ATS record in day games and Michigan has a 7-4 ATS record in the day. Indiana is 10-19 ATS in away games since 2017, which is the second-worst record for Big Ten over that period. Michigan is 24-20-2 ATS at home and a Big Ten’s best 35-21-2 ATS against conference foes since 2017.
BET MICHIGAN -7.5 (-110).
Over/Under (O/U)
The 137.5 is a toss-up total. Michigan and Indiana’s combined Over/Under record is 24-24 in all games and 14-14 in Big Ten games. But, the Under has cashed in three out of the last four Michigan-Indiana meetings so I LEAN UNDER 137.5 (-110).
