Michigan is mathematically eliminated from first place In the Big Ten East Division, which makes Indiana a sandwich game. Michigan destroyed Michigan State last week and has Ohio State next week. Indiana has covered six of its past seven games, while averaging 33.9 points per game. Peyton Ramsey is completing 72 percent of his passes. Michigan has won 23 straight in the series. Indiana is 2-0-1 ATS the last three years.

Ever since Michigan’s awful loss at Wisconsin, it has been a much better squad and its offense finally is making an impact. The Wolverines have gone 6-1 ATS since that defeat and scored at least 38 points in five of those games. Michigan and Indiana both are averaging 33 points, and I'm looking for them to combine for enough to get this one over the total.

The Wolverines have been one of the best teams in the country since halftime of the Penn State game, and that won't change this week vs. the Hoosiers. Wolverines quarterback Shea Patterson is averaging 9.7 yards per attempt and has completed 67.3 percent of his passes in November, and he will have another big day on Saturday.
