Indiana football vs. Idaho best bet: Indiana -24.5 (-110) & Over 49.5 points (-106)

Last season, Indiana football beat Idaho, 56-14, in Week 2, and it seems like there will be a lot of the same for this weekend’s matchup as well. With an offense that finally clicked on the final game-winning drive, Connor Bazelak and company should have no problem putting up points, with Shaun Shivers and the offensive line looking for running lanes.

In Idaho’s opening game against Washington State, the Vandals battled until the end, falling short 24-17. Though Washington State does not really stack up offensively and defensively with Indiana football, it is something to note as maybe this game will be more competitive than some think.

With all of that in mind, don’t stray away from the Hoosiers dominating this game from start to finish with easily covering a 24.5-point spread, along with pouring on the offense and combining with Idaho for over 49.5 points. A $100 bet for Indiana to cover a 24.5-point spread brings home $90.91, while a $100 bet for Indiana and Idaho to score over 49.5 points would add up to a $94.34 profit. Make smart decisions, but Indiana football to dominate Idaho on Saturday night is a sure-fire bet.
