Against the spread

Indiana is 5-1 ATS in its last 6 games against winning teams. And it has cruised to 4 straight ATS wins at Assembly Hall.

Rutgers likely won’t have the offense to get this 1 to the barn. The Knights are reliant on turnover-transition buckets, and IU has improved its turnover frequency figures of late.

The Hoosiers’ ability to get points in more varied ways is what makes them a solid value to win this game by perhaps 6-8 points. BACK INDIANA -4.5 (-105).

Over/Under

For each side the O/U in its last 4 games is 2-2. Tuesday’s game figures as a mid-pace affair but without a lot of 3-point or free-throw shooting. A mid-130s total leaves no room for argument. PASS.

Rutgers at Indiana odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Wednesday’s Rutgers at Indiana odds and lines, with college basketball expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Rutgers Scarlet Knights (16-12, 10-8 Big Ten) and Indiana Hoosiers (18-10, 9-9) clash in a Wednesday night Big Ten showdown. The battle at Assembly Hall in Bloomington, Ind., is slated to tip off at 7 p.m. ET. Below, we look at the Rutgers vs. Indiana odds and lines, and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and bets.

Rutgers is coming off a Saturday loss to Wisconsin and has lost three straight games since upsetting Illinois Feb. 16. The slow-tempo Scarlet Knights had held teams to just 65.2 points per game in going 5-1 from Jan. 29-Feb. 16, but they’ve allowed 73.7 PPG over their three straight losses.

The Hoosiers have won back-to-back games after enduring a five-game skid (Feb. 5-21) of their own. Indiana logged several awful shooting games in the losing streak; it has posted a 57.4% mark from the field (44.1% from beyond the arc) over wins against Maryland and Minnesota.

Rutgers at Indiana odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Indiana 69, Rutgers 63

Money line

Indiana has been at its best against slower teams and those that don’t excel on defense. Peg the Hoosiers as having a near-75% win probability in this one. And that makes for value on INDIANA (-230).

Against the spread

The Knights are 1-7-1 ATS in their last nine road games against teams that win at a .600 clip at home. The Hoosiers are 6-1 ATS in their last seven home games against foes with a losing road record.

Against the four slowest Big Ten teams it has played (Purdue, Ohio State, Minnesota, Penn State), the Hoosiers are a combined 5-2 ATS.

IU has been taking better care of the ball and getting to the foul line more frequently lately. The Hoosiers keeping a winning margin in two-possession territory is a bit of a risk but one worth a play at INDIANA -5.5 (-105).

Over/Under

This one figures to be right on the number with little wiggle room. PASS.

Rutgers at Indiana odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Saturday’s Rutgers Scarlet Knights at Indiana Hoosiers odds and lines, with college football expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Rutgers Scarlet Knights (4-5, 1-5 Big Ten) visit the Indiana Hoosiers (2-7, 0-6) Saturday at Memorial Stadium in Bloomington, Ind. Kickoff is scheduled for noon ET. Below, we look at the Rutgers vs. Indiana odds and lines, and make our expert college football picks, predictions and bets.

The Scarlet Knights need to win two more games to qualify for the team’s first bowl game since 2014. Rutgers opened the season 3-0 SU/ATS, but it is just 1-5 SU across the past six games and 1-4 ATS over the previous five.

The Hoosiers are skidding hard, dropping five straight games, while going 1-6 ATS across the past seven games overall. The offense scored 35 points Oct. 30, but they have a combined total of 29 points in the other four games since Oct. 2.

Rutgers at Indiana odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Rutgers 23, Indiana 19

Money line

RUTGERS (+220) is a value play in this road game, with a chance to more than double up. With a win at “The Rock”, the Scarlet Knights can level up at .500, and move to within one game of attaining bowl eligibility. Indiana (-280) is already out of the bowl picture, relegated to playing spoiler.

Against the spread

If you don’t trust RUTGERS +6.5 (-107) to win straight up, they’re a strong play catching nearly a touchdown. Despite a recent skid, the Scarlet Knights are still 8-1 ATS across the past nine road games, while cashing in six straight as a road underdog. Indiana -6.5 (-115), on the other hand, has covered just once in the past seven games overall, while going 1-4 ATS in the past five at home.

Over/Under

The UNDER 42.5 (-112) is the lean, ever so slightly. Indiana has scored 15 or fewer points in four of the past five games, although the defense has been knocked around for 29 or more points in five of the past seven.

The Under is 5-0 in the past five road games for Rutgers, while going 7-2 in the past nine Big Ten contests. The Under is 6-2 in Indiana’s past eight inside the conference, while going 6-1 in the past seven as a home favorite.

Rutgers at Indiana: Three things to know

  1. Rutgers enters on a 5-game slide, most recently dropping a 75-67 decision at Penn State Thursday. The Scarlet Knights, who were 2.5-point favorites, trailed the entire game after the Nittany Lions scored the first basket en route to their first Big Ten victory of the season. Junior G Ron Harper Jr. leads Rutgers with 18.6 points per game, and junior C Myles Johnson averages a team-high 8.6 rebounds per game.
  2. Indiana is coming off a surprising 81-69 road upset of No. 4 Iowa Thursday as a 10-point underdog. Sophomore F Trayce Jackson-Davis scored 23 points with 7 rebounds and the Hoosiers defense held the nation’s second-highest scoring team to a season low – the Hawkeyes were averaging 92.2 PPG. Indiana trailed 53-44 with 12 minutes to go before going on a 23-3 run and holding Iowa without a field goal for an 11-minute stretch. Jackson-Davis leads IU with 20.6 PPG and 8.8 RPG.
  3. Rutgers won the lone meeting between the two schools last season 59-50 as a 4-point home favorite. Indiana leads the all-time series 7-3, including 3-0 at home and 6-3 in Big Ten games – Rutgers joined the Big Ten for the 2014-15 season.

Rutgers at Indiana: Odds, betting lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Indiana 69, Rutgers 58

Money line (ML)

AVOID. Look for Indiana to follow up its biggest win of the season with an impressive showing at home; however, I’m going to PASS on the -165 juice and focus on the spread.

Against the spread (ATS)

INDIANA -3.5 (-110) is the STRONGEST PLAY – 1½ times your usual wager. The Scarlet Knights are on an 0-4 ATS run and now they have to face a Hoosiers squad that might have just figured things out.

Plus, the home team is 5-2 ATS in the last seven of this series. This doesn’t bode well for Rutgers.

ATS: Rutgers 5-7-1 | Indiana 10-5

Over/Under (O/U)

The UNDER 133.5 (-110) is worth a HALF-UNIT wager. If Indiana can duplicate the defense it threw at Iowa, Rutgers, which is 1-4 O/U in its last five games, might not reach the 60’s.

O/U records: Rutgers 7-5-1 | Indiana 7-8
