Indiana at Maryland picks and predictions

Prediction

Maryland 69, Indiana 63

Moneyline

PASS.

Maryland has lost 2 straight at home, so it isn’t a strong play as a heavy favorite. However, given the size of the spread, it offers more value for the road team than the moneyline.

Against the spread

BET INDIANA +8.5 (-110).

The Hoosiers are coming off a home win over the Badgers and beat the Terrapins by 12 earlier in the season. They also have 2 players averaging over 15 points per game and shooting over 57% from the field, so the efficiency and recent play both bode well for Indiana.

Maryland has struggled lately, losing 3 of its last 4 and 6 of its last 8. The Terrapins are 3-5 ATS over their last 8 games. Their leading scorer, Young, is shooting just 40.2% from the field. While Indiana may not win, its scoring efficient should help it cover.

Take INDIANA +8.5 (-110).

Over/Under

LEAN UNDER 135.5 (-110).

The Terrapins have gone Under in 2 straight games, scoring fewer than 65 in both. They are 10-19 O/U on the season as well. Indiana has scored between 70 and 74 in 4 straight games, but its defense has slacked which is why its games have consistently gone Over.

The Hoosiers have allowed 75 points or more in 4 of their last 5. Maryland may not have the same offensive firepower as many of those teams. The 1st game went far Under the total, 118 points scored with a 135.5 total.

Expect a similar battle and take UNDER 135.5 (-110).

Indiana at Penn State odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Indiana at Penn State odds and lines, with college football expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Indiana Hoosiers (2-5, 0-4 Big Ten) travel to face the No. 10 Penn State Nittany Lions (6-1, 3-1) Saturday. Kickoff from Beaver Stadium is set for noon ET (CBS). Below, we analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Indiana vs. Penn State odds, and make our expert college football picks and predictions.

Indiana has lost 3 consecutive games, the last being a 31-14 setback as a 6-point underdog vs. the Rutgers Scarlet Knights on Saturday. Coach Tom Allen said redshirt freshman QB Brendan Sorsby, who started in the loss to Rutgers, will starts vs. the Nittany Lions. He has completed 51.1% (45 of 88) of his passes for 420 yards, 3 TDs, and 0 INTs on the season.

Penn State was handed its 1st defeat of the season in Saturday’s 20-12 loss at  the Ohio State Buckeyes, failing to cover as a 4-point underdog. The Nittany Lions had their worst offensive showing of the year in the loss, only gaining 240 total yards of offense and converting on just 1 of 16 on 3rd downs.

Penn State is No. 10 in the US LBM Coaches Poll powered by USA TODAY Sports

  • Against the spread (ATS): Indiana +32.5 (-110) | Penn State -31.5 (-110)
  • Over/Under (O/U): 46.5 (O: -110 | U: -110)

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Indiana at Penn State picks and predictions

Prediction

Penn State 42, Indiana 14

Moneyline

PASS.

The Nittany Lions will pick up the win here, but a -7000 favorite is never worth the risk of betting on. Bet on the spread and/or total instead.

Against the spread

LEAN INDIANA +32.5 (-110).

Penn State has yet to beat a Big Ten opponent by 31.5 points or more this season, and I’m not sure they’ll do it here. I like the Nittany Lions to dominate here, but I see the starters being pulled before the 4th quarter, which will make it difficult for Penn State to cover the margin. I expect Penn State to come out hot after the loss to Ohio State, but 32.5 points feels like a stretch here.

Over/Under

BET OVER 46.5 (-110).

Indiana has allowed its last 3 Big Ten opponents to put up 30-plus points; allowing 31 to Rutgers, 52 to Michigan, and 44 to Maryland. The Nittany Lions have scored at least 30 points in 6 of their 7 games, including in all of their wins. Penn State has a dominant defense that will force turnovers and provide great field position. Look for Penn State to carry the load scoring-wise, propelling this game to hit the Over number of 46.5.

Indiana at Michigan odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Indiana at Michigan odds and lines, with college football expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Indiana Hoosiers (2-3, 0-2 Big Ten) face the No. 2 Michigan Wolverines (6-0, 3-0) in Week 7 of the college football season. Kickoff Saturday at Michigan Stadium is scheduled for noon ET (FOX). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Indiana vs. Michigan odds, and make our expert college football picks and predictions.

The Hoosiers are coming off a bye week following a 44-17 loss to Maryland in Week 5 in which they failed to cover as 14-point underdogs on the road. The Over of 49.5 points cleared in the defeat to Maryland, and Indiana has alternated wins and losses in its 1st 5 games.

The Wolverines covered as 19-point road favorites in their 52-10 victory over Minnesota in Week 6 and the Over of 45.5 points hit. Michigan is the No. 2 ranked team in the US LBM Coaches Poll powered by USA TODAY Sports

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Indiana at Michigan picks and predictions

Prediction

Michigan 44, Indiana 7

Moneyline

There aren’t many sportsbooks that will have a moneyline available for this game due to the massive spread in favor of the Wolverines. But you can go ahead and AVOID any moneyline you might find.

Against the spread

MICHIGAN -33.5 (-110) is the play despite this being such a large spread. The Wolverines have scored 30-plus points in each of their 6 games, while also allowing 10 or fewer points in each of those games.

After going 0-4 ATS to begin the season, Michigan has gone 2-0-1 ATS in its last 3 games.

Over/Under

While Indiana could have issues scoring on Saturday, OVER 45.5 (-110) is an enticing wager in this matchup. RB Blake Corum should have success for Michigan against an Indiana defense that is giving up 156.4 rushing yards per game.

The Wolverines have hit the Over in back-to-back games and they will do plenty of the heavy lifting themselves against the Hoosiers.

Ohio State at Indiana odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Ohio State at Indiana odds and lines, with college football expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Ohio State Buckeyes and the Indiana Hoosiers open the regular season at Memorial Stadium in Bloomington on Saturday. Kickoff is scheduled for 3:30 p.m. ET (CBS). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Ohio State at Indiana odds, and make our expert college football picks and predictions.

The Buckeyes head west on Interstate 70 to The Rock to open their season, and QB Kyle McCord has won the starting job for coach Ryan Day. However, expect to see QB Devin Brown also factor in at some point.

These teams faced each other in the 2017 season opener on a Thursday night, with the Buckeyes coming away with a 49-21 victory. In fact, Ohio State has won 27 straight meetings in this series dating back to 1991, with just 1 of the previous 7 meetings decided by less than 21 points.

The Hoosiers had a solid run in 2020, the only time Indiana kept it within 7 points against Ohio State. However, coach Tom Allen has struggled in the past 2 years to maintain consistency. He turns to Tennessee transfer QB Tayven Jackson to run the offense, but there will likely be a lot of growing pains along the way.

Ohio State is No. 4 in the USA TODAY Sports AFCA Coaches Poll.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Ohio State at Indiana picks and predictions

Prediction

Ohio State 45, Indiana 13

Moneyline

Ohio State (-10000) will cost you $100 for every $1 won, when it picks up the road victory. There is never a reason to risk anywhere close to that kind of money, especially for such a minuscule return. It shouldn’t have to be said, but PASS.

Against the spread

OHIO STATE -30.5 (-110) will drive you nuts at first. The Buckeyes will be breaking in a new QB in McCord, and there could be some bumps along the way as he gets his feet wet. However, the Buckeyes still have a very good run game, and WR Marvin Harrison Jr. is one of the best in the nation. This offense will hit its stride and start to pull away by the 3rd quarter, so be patient.

Over/Under

UNDER 59.5 (-115) is the lean, but play a half-unit at best.

I like the Buckeyes to get on the board early and often in the 1st half. Ohio State should have a rather sizable lead into the 2nd half before calling off the dogs. Will the Hoosiers be able to contribute anything to the total? I don’t think Indiana will be able to cobble together a lot of offense, and that’s why the lean is to go low.

Miami vs. Indiana picks and predictions

Prediction

Indiana 71, Miami 65

Moneyline

PASS.

This is a very small spread and if Indiana (-130) wins it should cover. I’ll take the better value with a single basket than pay the extra juice on the moneyline.

Play our free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Against the spread

LEAN INDIANA -1.5 (-115).

While this will surely be a close matchup, Indiana has the edge.

The Hoosiers are 3-2 ATS this season in neutral site games while the Hurricanes are 2-3 ATS in such games. Indiana is 2-1-1 ATS as a 1-2.5-point favorite while Miami is 1-1 ATS as a 1-2.5-point underdog.

Indiana really shows its edge in Kenpom’s strength of schedule. The Hoosiers rank 11th in the nation while the Hurricanes rank 85th. Despite similar records and seeding, Indiana has had a much more difficult path. Expect the Hoosiers to remain composed throughout which is critical for advancing in March.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 145.5 (-110).

The Under is 6-0 in Miami’s last 6 NCAA Tournament games and 7-2 in its last 9 neutral site games. For Indiana, the Under is 5-2 ATS in its last 7 games following an ATS victory. The Under hit in both teams’ first-round games as well.

Both teams rank below 100th overall in tempo in the Kenpom rankings. Expect a slower pace, as neither has been exploding recently. The Under is 3-1 in Miami’s last 4 games and 2-1 in Indiana’s last 3.

Prediction

Indiana 73, Penn State 71

Moneyline

PASS.

Indiana (-190) is likely to win a close game, but you shouldn’t risk nearly 2 times your potential return on it. You can sprinkle half a unit on Penn State (+160) if you are feeling lucky, they take down the Hoosiers by almost 20 points the last time they faced off. However, I’d rather take the insurance with the points on the spread.

Against the spread

LEAN PENN STATE +4.5 (-120).

Penn State is 6-2-1 ATS in its last 9 games and 3-0-1 ATS in its last 4 Saturday games. The Nittany Lions are also 5-1 ATS this season while playing at a neutral site and are 5-1 ATS this season as a 3-4.5-point underdog. The Hoosiers are just 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games.

Michigan at Indiana picks and predictions

Prediction

Indiana 76, Michigan 72

Moneyline

PASS.

Even though Indiana is expected to secure the victory, taking the Hoosiers at the current odds (-200) isn’t worth doing in a straight-up bet.

Stream select live college basketball games and full replays: Get ESPN+

Against the spread

MICHIGAN +4.5 (-110) is the pick in this game with how competitive it has been recently. The Wolverines have lost by 5 points or fewer in each of their last 3 losses.

Michigan is 4-0 ATS in its last 4 games overall, while Indiana is 1-4 ATS in its last 5 games overall.

Over/Under

OVER 144.5 (-105) is the lean in this Big Ten matchup with both teams averaging 70-plus possessions per game. Indiana also converts 49.1% of its shots from the field (12th in the nation) and 37.8% of its 3-point attempts (25th in the nation), which should help the Over hit.

The Wolverines are 3-1 to the Over in their last 4 games overall, and the Hoosiers have gone Over in 4 of their last 5 games following an ATS loss.

Iowa at Indiana picks and predictions

Prediction

Indiana 77, Iowa 75

Moneyline

Iowa is a lean, but not to a greater-than-1-chance-in-3 degree. PASS.

Stream select live college basketball games and full replays: Get ESPN+

Against the spread

The Hawkeyes are 8-1 ATS in their last 9 games after allowing 90-plus points in their previous game.

Two bad recent losses by Iowa — Feb. 19 at Northwestern and Feb. 22 at Wisconsin — are shading this number quite a bit. Iowa was just awful from 3-point range in both those games (combined 6 of 52) and still was pretty tight with the Badgers for most of the Feb. 22 game.

A bad Hawkeye defense has had some worse-than-bad nights in defending shots of late, and there could be some regression due in that respect. Indiana is a bit banged up injury-wise.

Consider a partial-unit play on IOWA +5.5 (-110).

Over/Under

This match-up does not figure to produce an overabundance of 3s or free throws or other score-spiral inputs like 2nd-chance points or transition buckets.

Iowa has often been slowed down from their normal top-50 pace when playing away from home.

BACK THE UNDER 154.5 (-105).
