After earning their first top-25 win of the season on Wednesday over No. 18 North Carolina, No. 10 Indiana basketball travels to take on Rutgers on Saturday in their first conference game of the season.
The Hoosiers have started out the season winning seven straight games, including a big road win against Xavier on November 18, and a “statement” win over the runner-ups from last year, North Carolina, on November 30th.
The Scarlet Knights, on the other hand, have dropped two of their last four games, including a road loss against unranked, Miami (FL), 68-61, on Wednesday. Rutgers is somewhat healthy heading into this game and hopes to extend their winning streak against Indiana basketball to six games after Saturday.

No. 10 Indiana basketball @ Rutgers best bet: Indiana -3.5 & Over 135.5
My best bet for Indiana basketball would be parlaying the Hoosiers to cover the 3.5-point spread, along with the two Big Ten teams to total more than 135.5 points together.
A $100 parlay bet on Indiana covering the 3.5-point spread and the two teams combining for over 135.5 points could potentially mean a profit of $253.19. That would be a nice Saturday afternoon!
