First look: Michigan State at Indiana odds and lines

Previewing the Michigan State Spartans at Indiana Hoosiers Week 7 matchup, with college football odds, trends and head-to-head records.

The No. 9 Michigan State Spartans (6-0, 3-0 Big Ten) and Indiana Hoosiers (2-3, 0-2) tangle in a Saturday noon ET game at Memorial Stadium in Bloomington, Ind. Below, we look at the Michigan State vs. Indiana odds and lines; check back for our college football picks and predictions.

Rankings courtesy of AFCA Coaches Poll powered by USA TODAY Sports.

Michigan State remained undefeated with a 31-13 win at Rutgers. The MSU defense was solid in bouncing back after allowing 31 points to Western Kentucky in the previous game (Oct. 2). The Spartans held the Scarlet Knights to just 3.1 rushing yards per carry and a 5-of-19 performance on third and fourth downs. With players like DE Jacub Panasiuk (18 tackles, 4.5 sacks, 1 forced fumble) leading the way, Michigan State has allowed just 19.7 points per game to rank 27th in the country.

The Hoosiers are coming off a bye week, which followed a 24-0 loss to now-No. 8 Penn State Oct. 2. IU’s schedule has been tough as the other conference loss was to Iowa. That one was a 34-6 setback Sept. 4, so Indiana has scored just 6 points through eight quarters of Big Ten play. IU’s struggling offense – ranked 107th FBS in total yards – figures to get better the rest of the season. A big key will be the status of the QB Michael Penix, Jr., who left IU’s last game with a separated shoulder. It’s unknown if he will play Saturday.

Michigan State at Indiana: Three things to know

  1. Michigan State enters on a two-game skid, recently falling at Purdue 75-65 Tuesday and failing to cover the spread as a 5.5-point underdog Tuesday. It was the Spartans’ fourth consecutive game not covering the spread, but they went 2-2 straight-up. Junior F Aaron Henry leads MSU in scoring (14.3 points per game), assists (3.5 APG), steals (1.3 SPG) and blocks (1.3 BPG), while junior F Joey Hauser is the club’s top rebounder (6.6 RPG).
  2. Indiana rebounded from an ugly 78-59 loss at Ohio State with an 82-72 home victory vs. Minnesota Wednesday. Sophomore F Trayce Jackson-Davis’ 20 points and 10 rebounds led the Hoosiers, who covered as 7-point favorites. Jackson-Davis is third in the Big Ten at 19.6 PPG, and also averages 9.4 RPG and 1.5 BPG – all team-highs..
  3. This is the season’s first meeting between the rivals. They were originally supposed to play Jan. 17 at Michigan State, but the game was postponed due to COVID-19 issues within the MSU program. That contest is now slated for March 2.

Against the spread (ATS)

MICHIGAN STATE +6.5 (-120) is the STRONGEST PLAY – 1½ times your usual wager. The Spartans are 2-14 ATS in their last 16 games, but the Hoosiers struggle in playing well in back-to-back conference games. Indiana is 0-3-1 ATS in its last four contests following a straight-up win.

The underdog is also 4-0 ATS in the last four of this series.

ATS: Michigan State 4-15 | Indiana 12-8-1

Over/Under (O/U)

Back the UNDER 134.5 (-105) with a HALF-UNIT bet. First off, neither team shoots the ball very well.

The Spartans own a 42.2% field-goal percentage and connect on only 32.9% of its 3-point attempts. They are at least decent from the foul line at 73.4%.

Indiana hits 44.9% of its field goals, 35.3% of its 3’s and are a miserable 66.5% from the foul line.

Secondly, Michigan State averaged 62.3 PPG in its last four outings and is 2-7 in its last nine games.

O/U records: Michigan State 8-11 | Indiana 11-9-1
