[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The No. 13 Indiana Hoosiers (8-0, 5-0 Big Ten) and the Michigan State Spartans (4-4, 2-3) meet Saturday at Spartan Stadium. Kickoff is scheduled for 3:30 p.m. ET (Peacock). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s college football odds around the Indiana vs. Michigan State odds, and make our expert college football picks and predictions.

The Hoosiers’ improbable run continued as Indiana improved to an undefeated record with a 31-17 victory over the Washington Huskies Oct. 26. They covered the spread as a 5-point home favorite, while the total stayed under 54 points. A key pick-6 from DB D’Angelo Ponds in the first quarter set the tone for the afternoon. QB Tayven Jackson hit WR Omar Cooper Jr. for a 42-yard touchdown in the 2nd quarter, and RB Justice Ellison powered through with 29 carries for 123 yards and a touchdown, sealing the win.

The Spartans dropped their 4th game in the last 5, losing to in-state rival Michigan 24-17 Oct. 26. They failed to cover as 3-point road underdogs, and the game went Over (38). QB Aidan Chiles finished with 189 passing yards and a touchdown, while RB Nate Carter added 118 rushing yards and a score, highlighting their offensive strengths despite the tough loss.

Indiana at Michigan State picks and predictions

Prediction

Indiana 34, Michigan State 24

Moneyline

PASS.

Indiana (-350) will win this game, but I’m not going to bet $350 to win $100 in return. I’ll take my bet to the spread.

Against the spread

BET INDIANA -7.5 (-115).

Indiana heads into this matchup against Michigan State with plenty of momentum. The Hoosiers have been scoring consistently, covering the spread in 7 consecutive games, and enter with a solid 7-1 ATS record. Indiana’s balanced offense has been effective at sustaining drives, boasting a 51.28% third-down conversion rate and maintaining possession for over 31 minutes per game.

Michigan State, on the other hand, has seen its numbers decline against tougher opponents. Led by Oregon State transfer QB Chiles, who has thrown more interceptions (9) than touchdowns (7), the Spartans have struggled, especially in high-stakes moments. Michigan State ranks 91st in total offense, averaging 365 yards and 21 points per game, but it has allowed an average of 28 points over their last 4 matchups.

Despite the 7.5-point spread, Indiana’s track record and consistent scoring make it a strong pick to cover on the road once again.

Over/Under

BET OVER 53.5 (-110).

The 52.5-point total here slightly exceeds Indiana’s season game average of 49.5, reflecting its potent offense, which ranks 2nd nationally at 46.5 points per game. Michigan State’s defense has struggled, allowing 28 points per game over its last 4 matchups against tougher Big Ten competition. While the Spartans generally keep scores lower (3-5 O/U), Indiana has been consistently high-scoring, clearing 40 points in both road games, including a 56-point showing against Nebraska.

Indiana being 6-2 to the Over suggests a high-scoring game here, making it likely that this matchup will exceed the usual Big Ten grind. Back the Over in what could be a spirited offensive battle.

Indiana at Michigan State picks and predictions

Prediction

Michigan State 70, Indiana 68

Moneyline

Indiana led by 6 points or more for the last 10 minutes of the first meeting in Jan., and that was with MSU getting to the free-throw line 28 times over the course of the game. Peg IU as the value side here, but on the moneyline only a value at +140 or more.

PASS.

Against the spread

Michigan State is shooting 40.1% on 3-pointers at home. That includes a 29-of-62 mark (46.8%) over the team’s last 3 games at the Breslin Center. Indiana comes along as a team that plays good perimeter defense (32%, 79th) and one that has been particularly sharp of late (holding teams under that mark 7 of the last 9 games).

The Hoosiers often fare well against lacking interior defense, and MSU is not particularly strong in defending the paint.

Look for IU to have a legitimate shot here; the Hoosiers have been playing a lot of close games on the road lately.

BACK INDIANA +3.5 (-115).

Over/Under

The Over (137.5) connected in the Jan. 22 meeting and is 3-1 in the last 4 IU-MSU games.

Look for faster Indiana to steer this game into a mid-pace affair. A total closer to 138-142 is hittable at a rate of probability making the OVER 135.5 (-110) a solid play.

Indiana at Michigan State: Odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Indiana 70, Michigan State 66

Money line (ML)

Indiana’s conversion rates on 3-pointers (34.7%) along with its high rate of free throws make this contest a near-pick ’em. Getting INDIANA at +125 MAKES FOR DECENT VALUE.

Against the spread (ATS)

IU has shown improvement in its offensive rebounding numbers in recent weeks and MSU’s defensive rebounding has been headed the wrong way of late.

Michigan State’s three-game win streak from Feb. 20-25 was constructed on a foundation of solid shooting and opponent misfires from 3-point range. Both don’t figure as sustainable (and weren’t in the step-back loss to Maryland).

The underdog has covered five straight in this series. MSU is 1-7 ATS in its last eight games as a home favorite.

TAKE THE HOOSIERS +2.5 (-110).

Over/Under (O/U)

NO PLAY on a well-made total here.

Indiana at Michigan State: Odds, betting lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Indiana 38, Michigan State 24

Money line (ML)

PASS. The Hoosiers (-264) will improve to 4-0 for the first time since 1987, but this price is more expensive than I like. Let’s make money on the spread.

Against the spread (ATS)

INDIANA -7.5 (+100) is the STRONGEST PLAY – 1.5 times your usual wager. The Hoosiers are 3-0 ATS, averaging 37.0 points per game and allowing 25.7 PPG. The Spartans are 1-2 ATS, average 20.3 PPG and yield 37.0 points per game. INDIANA continues to roll.

Over/Under (O/U)

The OVER 51.5 (-110) is the play. Indiana owns a 3-0 O/U record; Michigan State is 2-1.

Look for the Hoosiers to jump out early before letting their foot off the gas in the final quarter as they rest starters in anticipation of facing No. 3 Ohio State next week. Yes, this is what the season has turned into for the once-proud Spartans.
