Washington vs Indiana Prediction
The current betting odds have Indiana listed as a 6.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Indiana has looked great in their games this season with their 7-0 record overall and their 4-0 conference record which leads the Big Ten. They have looked great in their home games too with their 5-0 home record and they are coming off a huge win against Nebraska in their last one, beating them down 56-7 at home. Meanwhile, Washington hasn't looked great in their games this season with their 4-3 record overall and their 2-2 conference record. They have struggled more against Big Ten opponents and they are coming off a huge loss to Iowa in their last one. They are coming out of their bye week here so they have had extra time to prepare for this game, but they have been terrible in their road games this season with their 0-2 road record and they have to travel back to the East once again for this game. They didn't look good in their last one when they had to travel to Iowa and they aren't going to look any better here against a team that is better on both sides of the ball. Indiana has a real chance to make the Big Ten Championship at their current pace so they aren't going to take their foot off the gas here as they look to stay undefeated. The best way to place a bet here is on Indiana to cover the spread in this game.
