Indiana at Northwestern picks and predictions
Prediction
Indiana 38, Northwestern 13
Moneyline
PASS.
There is no value on Indiana (-600) to take down Northwestern.
Against the spread
BET INDIANA -13.5 (-115).
The Wildcats will be no match for Rourke and Indiana Saturday. Indiana has flourished this season, scoring 31 or more points in each game, including 42 or more in each of the last 4. It has allowed 14 or fewer points in 4 of its 5 games. While Northwestern should be expected to perform better than it did against Washington, expect this game to be over well before the 4th quarter.
Over/Under
BET OVER 41.5 (-105).
The Hoosiers have hit the Over while scoring 42 or more points in each of their last 4 games. They will carry a majority of the load in this matchup, but any scoring from the Wildcats will help put this game above 42 points and cash the Over.
