Indiana Hoosiers vs Utah Utes Point Spread Picks

The Indiana Hoosiers played one of the most difficult schedules in the country. While they finished at 6-6, they saw four of those losses occur against Penn State, Nebraska, Michigan, and Ohio State. They lost those four games by an average of 12.5 points per game, so they certainly were not embarassed. Despite all the tough games, the Hoosiers won the line of scrimmage by 61 yards per game. They throw the ball very well, and for a team that has been all offense in recent years, they are above average defensively, as well. Utah, at 8-4, grades out as an average team on both sides of the ball and appear statistically to be considerably over-rated, and things started to catch up to them after a 7-1 start, finishing 1-3. I think Indiana is slightly better on both sides of the ball, and Utah also fits into an ugly Bowl situation that is 36-70 ATS while the Hoosiers fit a situation which is 22-4 ATS in Bowl games. Make the play on Indiana.
