The Sporting News: Indiana 24, Michigan 14
Bill Bender writes: "Will Michigan start Tommy Carr? The Wolverines
lead the Big Ten in total defense (256.9 ypg.). The Hoosiers are first in the conference in scoring defense (12.9 ppg.). Michigan averaged 7.6 yards per rushing attempt after putting in Carr in last week. Indiana’s more consistent passing attack with Josh Hoover will make the difference – but keep in mind the Hoosiers have not won at Michigan Stadium since 1967."

Bill Speros writes: "The Fox Big Noon Kickoff crew returns to the Big House — without Dave Portnoy. The Hoosiers come off their first loss since 2024 this week. Curt Cignetti’s team got outmuscled and outhustled by a deeper and more talented Ohio State team on Saturday. IU would be out if the Big Ten title game took place this week. IU has entered win-or-else mode from here on out. Our model has IU winning by 8.4 points, a bargain on this number. But IU has been stealing money since last season. Despite winning 22 of 23 games outright, the Hoosiers are a tepid 12-11 ATS."

Sports Illustrated: Bet Indiana to cover vs Michigan
Iain MacMillan writes: "The Michigan offense is just 57th in the country in success rate and 52nd in adjusted EPA per play. Their defense can lead them to wins against most teams, but Indiana still belongs to the upper echelon of college football teams, ranking third in the country in net adjusted EPA per play and second in net yards per play. Indiana is the superior team in this game. Let's lay the points on the Hoosiers."
