Bowling Green Falcons vs Indiana Hoosiers Point Spread Picks

Last season the Indiana Hoosiers were big offensively. They went against a very solid Bowling Green defense and lit them up for 600 yards in a 42-10 early-season win. Bowling Green went on to win the MAC and had a great season. Indiana had their moments, but faded down the stretch. This season it will be time  for Bowling Green to revenge that loss. Despite an 18-point win vs. Indiana State, Indiana was a lot less impressive, and this is a tough situation for the Hoosiers who have a date with Missouri next week. The Falcons are always tough here as they are 10-2 in their last 12 at home. And when they are playing with revenge as a home dog, they have put up an impressive resume which reads 13-4-1 ATS in their last 18. We have one motivated revenging team here, with the visitor perhaps a bit flat in eyeing their own revenge against a big opponent in their next contest. Take the points and play on Bowling Green in this one.

Bowling Green is going to be a top team in the MAC this season, thanks in large part to an improved offensive. And once again they will be a force on the defensive end with almost everyone that matters back from a top-stop unit from a year ago. They were a bit lethargic to start the Kent State game last week, but they still rallied for a 19-point win. Indiana came up big offensively with a 73-point explosion vs. FCS opponent Indiana State in their opener. But, at home last week they coughed up 41 to a suspect Navy team as a 12.5 point favorite. This will be a new challenge for their offense, and I think that the Hoosiers will have trouble both moving, and hanging onto the ball. Bowling Green's offense should have their way vs. a Hoosiers team that has allowed 38 points per game to a pair of teams that aren't very dominating on offense. The Falcons are 9-1 ATS in their last 10 on field turf, and the Hoosiers are just 1-for-6 ATS in their last six September tilts. Bowling Green takes this one.
