The current betting odds have Michigan listed as a 33.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Michigan is having a great season as they are 6-0 overall and ranked as the 2nd best team in the country. Michigan wasn't really blowing teams out in their first few games but they have finally settled into their conference schedule now and have been blowing out the Big Ten opponents they have faced. They covered their first 2 spreads of the season in their last 2 games and both of those were on the road too. Now they are back at home with a much larger number to cover but they also have one of the best defenses in the country with the number of points they have given up this year. Indiana is one of the worst teams in the Big Ten this season and they are already 2-3 overall with a 0-2 conference record. They are not going to score many points on this Michigan defense if they even score at all and Michigan's offense has been gaining momentum in their last few games. The best way to place a bet here is on Michigan to cover the spread in this game.
