Indiana vs. Minnesota Prediction: Bet the Big Ten Under

Indiana, Minnesota, we've kind of mentioned this one under the guidelines of why. It's a 20.5 point number here, total 40.5. I know last night a 21.5 did actually appear in the market if you were really looking to play. Minnesota in this spot here, but that does look to be gone. I lean Indiana. The issue, and I learned this the hard way with the Hoover bet that I thought was pretty good against Michigan, he's hurt. He's legitimately hurt. I don't really know what Cignetti's doing. If he's that hurt, then sit him down. I think they could win this game without Hoover. Hey, I... That's why I don't want to get involved with an injured quarterback here. Which leads to what my play is, which I know that if they blindfolded you and said, hey, what is Dave going to take today? The first thing you were going to say is an under in a Big Ten game. An under with teams with bad offenses. And yes, I took the under in Indiana-Ohio State out of sweat. I took the under in Indiana, Michigan. One of the easiest bets we made all year. It was 6-6 in overtime. We loved it. Tell me why Indiana, Minnesota is going to be any different. It's 40 and a half. Minnesota's offense is worse than all the teams I just mentioned, including Michigan, who has a terrible offense. 125th in the nation in total offense. There aren't that many more teams. 132nd in rushing, Kevin. There's not many more teams. 113th in third down conversions. Indiana, one of the best defenses in the country. We went over this last week when we went Indiana played Michigan. 12 points per game. Best in the Big Ten, second in the country, held Ohio State to 19 and 313 yards, held Michigan, which isn't hard to do, six points and 212 yards, and they played overtime in that one. Why did they lose to Ohio State? Why did they need overtime to beat a crappy Michigan team? Their offense stinks. Hoover's not that good. You just mentioned the injuries they have. Maybe they should sit people. Minnesota doesn't have the same defense Ohio State and Michigan have. I'm going to say that. But they won 13-10 last week against Iowa. 34th in the country in yards. These are two very good defensive teams, two very poor offensive teams. I know we're all waiting for Indiana to score 40. They've only done that for Rutgers, which we all could do. The Gophers, 32 minutes time of possession. Indiana, 29 minutes time of possession. Grind it out, Big Ten, three yards in a cloud of dust teams. Again, just like last week, just like the week before, and this is my favorite play under Indiana Michigan Minnesota. I can't knock it. Yeah, I can't. I can't knock it at all here. You know, the Hoosiers might be playing with one hand behind their back. It's a very interesting thing. And it's probably not going to cost them. I don't know how Indiana do it, man. But just like every year, I don't know why. We look at the SEC schedules. Wow. Right. We look at plenty of the Big Ten schedules. And then you look at the Indiana schedules. Every year, it's like, I don't understand what conference they play in. I don't understand what conference they're playing. I'm not saying that Indiana aren't good. I think Indiana are obviously good. But, you know, a lot of it starts with, you know, they play three fake games to start the year. And I don't know, man. Like, do they go to Oregon next year? And the funny thing is, like, Oregon stinks, so it wouldn't matter. I just, I don't know how. Every year, it's just like you look at the Indiana schedule, and it's like, oh, okay. They played one ranked. They're going to play one ranked team this year. They're going to play one ranked team. It's a bad. A bad combination of the three cupcakes to be in every season, every year. It's the way that St. Getty does it. And the fact that they've got a Big Ten schedule that doesn't have anybody on it. And that I don't understand. I don't know how they keep getting it. Every time we look at it in August, we're like, oh, Indiana's going to win 11. It's nuts every year. And, like, in the... Iowa, Wisconsin Like, just look... We'll talk... Like, those are decent teams this year. Like, they just don't hit the schedule. I don't... I don't know how... It's just so... It's such a weird one here.
