Nebraska at Indiana picks and predictions
Prediction
Indiana 71, Nebraska 63
Moneyline
There was no moneyline available at the time of publishing.
Against the spread
NEBRASKA +12.5 (-110) won’t be fazed playing a ranked team on the road as a double-digit ‘dog, as that’s the exact spot it was in when it won at Creighton last time out.
Indiana should be able to win this one, but a double-digit victory seems unlikely after it really struggled in a loss at Rutgers last time out. Sure, IU isn’t going to shoot 30% (17 of 56) as it did against the Scarlet Knights, but facing a confident Cornhuskers side is not what the Hoosiers need to get back on track. This is going to be a struggle.
Over/Under
UNDER 136.5 (-110) is the lean, ever so slightly.
The Under has dominated for the Huskers, going 4-0 in the past 4 games on the road while going 8-1-1 in the past 10 games overall.
For the Hoosiers, the Under is 4-1 in the past 5 games overall, and an amazing 8-0 in the past 8 games against teams with a winning overall record.
