CauseThatsMyDJ Posted October 9, 2017 Report Share Posted October 9, 2017 According to my ESPN app, Michigan is currently only a 5 point favorite on Saturday. I wonder when the last time was that the spread was this low? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobSaccamanno Posted October 9, 2017 Report Share Posted October 9, 2017 Over the last thirty years, Michigan has owned us, but there are a good five or so "shoulda" wins in there. Some were due to heinous officiating. We need to end that and put up a W. It's not a bad spot this year to get it done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDB Posted October 9, 2017 Report Share Posted October 9, 2017 Michigan is only a 5-point favorite, and the ESPN FPI has us with a 37.4% chance to win. At Florida earlier in the year, Michigan were 4 point favorites. Florida was the #17 team in the country at the time. Also, for the at Mich St game (Oct. 21) the line is even. Mich St is #21 in the newest AP Poll. IU is getting some respect, and I think that we have a very good chance to beat Michigan.. Especially if John O' Korn keeps throwing passes to the wrong team, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may be mistaken, but I do believe that lines don't come out until the Sunday before the game, so I don't think that MSU line means anything.

I believe you are correct. I was scrolling through our schedule on the ESPN app and saw it said even for the MSU game and I got a little excited without thinking. Brainfart.

Guest Posted October 9, 2017 Report Share Posted October 9, 2017 Speight is out for the year, and O'Korn looked average at best vs. Sparty. I would imagine that he will be improved now that he has a starting game under his belt. Not sure that Homecoming means much for IU. I have been at numerous HC games where we have gotten smoked. UM coming off an emotional loss to their in-state rival could leave them drained. Conversely, they also now know that they can't lose again and have any chance to win the B1G East. Like the odds makers, I think about a 1/3rd chance of winning this game sounds about right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
