Indiana football vs. #4 Michigan: Betting odds & tips for Week 6
Indiana football takes on the No. 4 Michigan Wolverines on Saturday afternoon in Bloomington, as the Hoosiers look to shock the world with a homecoming win. Last season, when the Hoosiers traveled to Ann Arbor to take on then-ranked #9 Michigan, Indiana was handled pretty easily, 29-7.
Let’s hope for improvement this time around, as the Indiana defense and offense has improved from last season, even if it is minimal. Will there be a homecoming miracle in Bloomington on Saturday afternoon?

Indiana football vs. #4 Michigan best bet: Indiana +22.5 & Under 59.5 points
My best bet for this primetime matchup between Indiana and Michigan is giving the Hoosiers 22.5 points to cover, along with betting on the under 59.5 combined points. The Wolverines and Hoosiers have combined for less than 59 points in six of the last seven matchups, and Michigan has only won by more than 22 points once since 2015.
Three of the last four losses to Michigan in Bloomington, the Wolverines have been ranked and the Hoosiers have not lost by more than one touchdown. When Michigan is ranked in the top ten, Indiana football has lost by an average of 14.3 points (three games) since 2007.
If you were to place a $100 bet on the Hoosiers to cover the spread and the under total points, you could start off your Saturday of college football with a $213.30 profit. Based on what we saw last week from the Hoosiers, this is a risky bet for sure, but a homecoming game where the Hoosiers are hoping for a rebound after two consecutive losses to unranked opponents.
