Indiana vs Michigan State Prediction

The current betting odds have Indiana listed as a 10.5 point underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Indiana has looked terrible in their games lately as they have been losing a lot of games by large margins, but they have also had a very tough schedule lately and are getting a much easier opponent here. MSU has won 2 games in a row now and have actually been playing a lot better than they were despite missing a bunch of players due to suspensions, but they struggled to pull away from Rutgers at home last week and they are starting to feel the absence of all those players. MSU is going to start regressing while this Indiana team is going to be desperate for a win or at least a good performance where they keep a game close. MSU still needs 1 more win to become bowl eligible and since their last game of the season is against a good ranked Penn State team, Indiana will be looking to spoil their season here with a win that could end up keeping them out of a bowl game. The best way to place a bet here is on Indiana to cover the spread in this game.
