They are all huge underdogs in these games and have yet to play a game with a spread smaller than 10 points.

Leading Indiana is freshman quarterback Tayven Jackson, who is averaging 172.4 passing yards per game. His best game came against Louisville, where he had 299 yards, but they still lost by seven. Jaylin Lucas is Indiana's top playmaker at 5'9", with 42.4 rushing yards per game and 19 catches on the season. Indiana's top receiver is Cam Camper, with an average of 49.8 receiving yards per game.

Michigan Wolverines Analysis

The Michigan Wolverines have had an impressive season, boasting one of the best defensive stats in the nation. Their defensive numbers are made even more impressive, considering the team has not faced an especially difficult schedule. Quarterback J.J. McCarthy and running back Blake Corum have been handling the offense with proficiency, succeeding with an efficient passing attack and Comus's 10 touchdowns and 82.3 yards per game. Junior Colson appears to be the team's leader, garnering 28 total tackles, 15 sacks, and 8 takeaways, and Roman Wilson is a key red zone threat with 8 touchdowns from 22 catches.

Offense Ranking: #39 (averaging 34.40 PPG) Defense Ranking: #1 (averaging 6.00 PPG) Record: 6-0 (2-3-1 ATS) Last 3 vs Indiana: 2-1 (1-2 ATS) Despite the impressive stats, Michigan's injury report lists several players, although none of them are starters or play a major role.

Michigan Dominate Without Covering Points: Indiana a Good Bet Versus 33.5 Spread

Michigan have won all games this season, yet not covered spreads that have been higher than usual. On average they have seen spreads of -35.5 against East Carolina, -38 against UNLV, -41 against Bowling Green, and -24 against Rutgers. A strong run game has allowed them to acquire big leads, which subsequently makes covering the spread more difficult. On the other hand, Indiana have already covered as an underdog against Ohio State and Louisville and have the capacity to make big plays on either side of the ball. Michigan will follow their usual approach, dominating the line of scrimmage and win without covering the spread in this 33.5 point conference game. For this reason, it's advised to take Indiana and all the points on Saturday.
